When the driver was searched, RCMP found half an ounce of fentanyl, 3.6 grams of methamphetamine and a pair of nunchucks – a prohibited weapon in Canada.

He was arrested and charged with multiple drug and weapon charges.

RCMP say the fentanyl seized at the scene was formed into the shape of puzzle pieces, which is particularly alarming given their resemblance to toys or candy.
