$1000.00 worth of cocaine is off the streets of Portage.
39 rocks of crack cocaine were seized by Portage RCMP last night during a traffic stop.
A 28 year old man was initially stopped for a traffic violation, but was searched after police noticed what seemed to be traces of marijuana in the vehicle.
The man was arrested but released from the Portage detachment on a promise to appear in court at a later date. He faces charges of possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking.
