A 45-year-old Vancouver man was arrested after allegedly selling drugs at Shambhala.

Police said a man was selling drugs out of an RV, where they also found thousands of dollars in cash, according to a news release.

Salmo RCMP were tipped off by festival security on July 25 and were directed to the man's vehicle once they got there.

Police seized $145,000 in cash, 100 grams of suspected drugs and paraphernalia, according to the news release.

The man hasn't been charged, but the investigation is ongoing.
