Three people are facing charges after a traffic stop in Lantz, N.S., Tuesday.

Police said officers conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle on Highway 102 as part of an ongoing drug trafficking investigation.

“Officers safely arrested the three occupants of the vehicle and seized a quantity of cocaine, prescription pills, cash, scales, baggies, hidden compartments and other drug paraphernalia,” read a news release from RCMP.

“This arrest is a clear example of proactive enforcement, supported by criminal intelligence and strong partnerships with other police agencies,” says Cpl. Evan Collier, East Hants District RCMP, in the release.

Amanda Marie Dalrymple, 30, of Fall River, Dylan Mombourquette, 32, of Shubenacadie and Tanya Tattrie, 58, of Elmsdale are each charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking (two counts) and possession of property obtained by crime.

Mombourquette is facing additional charges of breach of conditions (two counts).

Dalrymple and Mombourquette appeared in Truro provincial court Wednesday. Tattrie was released by police pending a future court appearance.
