If you are going to be transporting large amounts of drugs there are smarter ways to do it than by using a stolen vehicle.
Midway RCMP told The Times that when they observed a suspicious vehicle traveling through Greenwood at about 6 p.m. on Tuesday, May1 the vehicle attempted to evade them by heading up Deadwood Road.
