Two people are facing criminal charges after a traffic stop turned into a drug bust Monday in Prince Albert.

Police conducted a vehicle stop in the 400-block of Sixth Ave. E. May 7 shortly before 9 p.m. Inside the vehicle, officers located more than 100 g of crystal methamphetamine along with drug trafficking paraphernalia, multiple cell phones, a knife, and a replica firearm.

The two suspects, a 34-year-old woman and 18-year-old man from Prince Albert, were charged with possession of methamphetamine for the purpose of trafficking and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose. The male suspect was also charged with obstructing a peace officer.

Both suspects are expected to appear today in Prince Albert Provincial Court. They are presumed innocent at this stage.
