RCMP made a drug seizure and arrests in the parking lot of the Montague detachment on Friday, June 3.

Staff Sgt. Kevin Baillie said an officer decided to do a check of a license plate on a vehicle parked at the Montague RCMP office.

The check revealed that the license plate was registered to a different vehicle than the one it was on.

The officer then approached the vehicle and asked the woman sitting inside to produce a driver's license and registration.

The woman attempted to locate the documents and the officer observed a clear bag containing a large quantity of pills, said Baillie.

The officer said the 36-year-old woman tried to hide the pills and she was arrested.

The search of the vehicle resulted in the seizure of 239 pills believed to be methamphetamine, according to police.

In addition, a 34-year-old man, who had gone into the detachment to make an unrelated complaint was also arrested.

"It's very unusual," said Baillie. "Certainly from time to time we make drug seizures as a result of vehicle stops for different infractions. But very unusual to make a drug seizure right in our own parking lot and 239 methamphetamine pills is a significant seizure certainly for Prince Edward Island."

Both the accused are from the Charlottetown area and face charges of possession of methamphetamine for the purpose of trafficking.
