RCMP STOP TO HELP STRANDED DRIVER, FIND DRUG CACHE

Two motorists discovered one particular peril of not having snow tires: they were arrested for possession of 6.8 kilograms of cocaine after their car slid off a Nova Scotia road. RCMP say they spotted the car in Kemptown. “They noticed a vehicle in the ditch so they stopped to help,” Cpl. Jennifer Clarke said Monday. But officers soon discovered both people in the car had outstanding warrants, the driver had been suspended from operating a motor vehicle — and they were allegedly carrying a major cache of cocaine.
