A St. Stephen man faces charges after police allegedly found drugs in his vehicle.

The RCMP say they stopped a suspicious vehicle on Route 3, north of St. Stephen, at about 1:20 a.m. on Saturday, according to a news release.

They then searched the vehicle and found what they believe is fentanyl and methamphetamine, along with two digital scales, packaging materials and cellphones.

The 43-year-old driver, from St. Stephen, was arrested. The passenger, a 36-year-old woman, was also arrested but later released.

The driver appeared in court later that day and was charged with drug trafficking. He remains in custody.

The investigation continues.
