A semi driver will likely be facing a number of drug related charges after a large amount of marijuana was found in his truck by RCMP earlier in the week.
On May 12, 2014, just after 2am, RCMP pulled over a semi-truck on the Trans-Canada Highway near Portage la Prairie. Police say that approximately 137 pounds of marijuana was located in the vehicle.
RCMP report that the male driver, from the Maritimes, was taken into custody and charges are pending. The vehicle was taken into Winnipeg to conduct a thorough search.
