La Loche RCMP have charged two individuals after seizing cocaine during a traffic stop.

RCMP say officers were conducting proactive patrols last Friday around 7:50 a.m. and as part of that conducted a traffic stop in La Loche.

They seized approximately 436 grams of cocaine, 27 pharmaceutical-style pills, a sum of cash, and drug trafficking paraphernalia inside the vehicle.

All four occupants of the vehicle were arrested at the scene.

Twenty-seven-year-old Filmon Daniel from Fort McMurray, AB and 28-year-old Karlie Montgrand from La Loche, are in provincial court Thursday and each charged with one count, possession for the purpose of trafficking – cocaine.

The other two individuals who were arrested were later released from police custody without charge.
