Vancouver Police have seized 56 kilograms of suspected cocaine after stopping two men who were acting suspiciously Monday night.
Sgt. Brian Montague said the two men – one in his 20s and one in his 30s – were driving an SUV in East Vancouver about 7:30 p.m. when they caught officers’ attention.
“Officers observed behaviour they considered suspicious and subsequently located what they believed to be approximately four kilograms of cocaine. The vehicle was towed and police obtained a warrant to continue searching for additional evidence.” Montague said in a news release.
Another 52 kilograms of the suspected drug were found Tuesday during a search of the vehicle, he said.
Both men have been released, pending further investigation and lab results on the substance found.
“Criminal charges related to the possession of drugs for the purpose of trafficking are expected to be recommended,” Montague said.
He said if the test is positive for cocaine, it would be worth about $3 million with a street value of $4.5 million.
