REVELSTOKE — A complaint of an erratic driver on Highway 1 east of Revelstoke resulted in a $1.9-million cash seizure by RCMP.
Police say they stopped a vehicle from eastern Canada, with two men inside, on Sept. 8.
Both men were detained and then arrested for possession of property obtained by crime.
Officers say a subsequent search with help from a police-service dog uncovered the $1.9 million in cash.
The men, who police say are both from eastern Canada, were released on their own recognizance with a future court date.
Police say it’s a reminder to motorists that they all have a role to play, because someone alerted police to the way the vehicle was being driven and RCMP acted on that information.
