RCMP noticed the truck traveling along the 1600 block of Water Street while working in the Kelowna downtown core on the evening of Dec. 14.

A search uncovered 46 grams of methamphetamine, 1.8 ounces of liquid GHB (gamma-hydroxybutyrate), 0.5 grams of crack cocaine, 0.4 grams of heroin, drug paraphernalia and $3,800 cash.
