Durham Police said two males are facing charges for drug possession following a traffic stop in Clarington.
On Friday, September 6, at about 8:15 pm, members of the East Division Community Response Team (CRT) initiated a traffic stop while on proactive patrol in the area of Highway 115 and Concession Road 4.
Officers observed a Ford SUV driving at a high rate of speed, and attempted a traffic stop. The SUV failed to stop and continued driving at a high rate of speed. Officers pulled alongside the SUV to identify the driver, who then slowly brought the vehicle to a stop. The driver presented a licence to police that was not his. A subsequent search of the vehicle under the Cannabis Control Act, revealed a quantity of drugs. The driver and passenger were taken into custody without incident, police said.
A man, age 23 from Toronto and another, age 26 from Toronto, were charged and were both released on an undertaking. Name and further details available at www.drps.ca.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact the East Division Community Response Team at 1-888-579-1520 ext. 1608.
