A routine patrol resulted in the discovery of several packages of heroin being found in the possession of a North Okanagan man. Earlier this month, an RCMP officer was doing a routine patrol of the downtown Vernon area when he noticed the driver of a small car swerve. RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk says the driver seemed very concerned the officer observed him. “The vehicle was checked a short distance away and the officer quickly learned that the license plate on the car did not belong to it. The driver could not produce his driver’s license and to add to the driver’s problems, when he was asked to step from his vehicle, the officer observed several neatly folded pieces of paper on the floor,” says Molendyk. He says the folded paper turned out to be nine flaps, or nine packages, of heroin. “The 44-year-old man, a Salmon Arm area resident, was arrested and is expected to appear in court at a later date to answer to the charges.”
