Around 3 o’clock Monday afternoon Flin Flon RCMP members intercepted a quantity of marijuana during a vehicle stop.  A 2005 Chevrolet Equinox driven by a 43 year old Flin Flon man with a 20 year old female passenger from Winnipegosis was stopped by RCMP members on highway ten just outside of Flin Flon.  Investigation led to the discovery of approximately 8.5 pounds of marijuana.

The two were arrested for possession for the purpose of trafficking a controlled substance. The man was released on a recognizance for a future court date while the woman was released on a promise to appear for a future court date.

No other details are being released at this time as the investigation continues.
