A Vancouver man was arrested on Highway #7 near Kindersley after a police dog detected drugs in his vehicle.

On Thursday the 23rd, officers stopped a grey vehicle for a driver’s licence, registration and sobriety check. A police dog named Salt performed a free air sniff around the outside of the vehicle, stopping near the passenger door to indicate that drugs had, in fact, been sniffed.

In an after-market compartment inside the vehicle, officers found 19 kilograms of suspected cocaine and one kilogram of suspected crystal methamphetamine. Two cellphones and $830 in Canadian currency found on the driver were also seized.

Now, 27-year-old Russell Rosales is facing four charges. He is scheduled to appear in court in Kindersley on December 16.
