SASKATOON – Two men from British Columbia were busted in Saskatoon last week for drug trafficking.

It started when RCMP pulled over a vehicle on Highway 7 near Vanscoy last Thursday.

Two men from Kelowna, B.C. were found to have 13 pounds of marijuana divided into 20 packages.

They produced a medical marijuana license and were permitted to continue on to Saskatoon.

Mounties informed Saskatoon police of the stop.

Officers then spotted the same men in a hotel in the 700-block of Idylwyld St. North.

The two from Kelowna met with two other men and then left the city.

Police arrested the two new men when they left the hotel with the marijuana.
