In a Friday news release, police say they completed a targeted traffic stop on a silver Dodge Caravan on the corner of Highway 3 and Main Street in Mahone Bay, N.S., early Wednesday morning as part of an ongoing drug investigation.
Police arrested 39-year-old Colan Foster Lohnes, and 35-year-old Kirk John Bishop, who were the only two occupants of the vehicle, before finding and seizing cocaine and “sensory irritant.”
The two have been charged with:
- possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking
- failure to comply with undertaking
Both men appeared in court in Bridgewater on Thursday and were remanded into custody.
Bishop will appear in court on Friday, while Lohnes is set to return to court on March 27.
The investigation is still ongoing.
