Sixty-five pounds of marijuana was seized during a RCMP impaired driving check in Fraser Lake on Highway 16 and Francois Lake Road at 10:15 p.m on Feb. 6.
Two men — Hoa Hung Duong and Ly Sau Phuc, aged 49 and 39 respectively — have been taken into custody and are charged for two counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking.
At the check, a Fraser Lake RCMP officer was inspecting a vehicle for defects, leading into a Wildlife Act investigation and then a Controlled Drug and Substance Act investigation, states the police in a media release.
The two men are scheduled to appear in Fort St. James Provincial Court on Feb. 15.
