Two men from Campobello Island are facing charges following an RCMP check stop in Oak Bay.

On August 9, the RCMP pulled over a vehicle on Highway 170.

The 24-year-old driver was found to be prohibited from being behind the wheel.

He was arrested but later released.

A 32-year-old passenger was also arrested for failing to comply with the conditions of a release order and tampering with an ankle device.

After the arrests, officers searched the vehicle and seized quantities of what was believed to be meth.

The 32-year-old appeared in court the following day and was sentenced to 30 days in custody.
