Traffic stop leads to drug charges

Two Halifax men are facing drug charges after a traffic stop.

Police pulled a vehicle over on Larry Uteck Boulevard and seized some crack. Then they searched a couple of apartments in the area and found more crack cocaine, ecstasy and marijuanna. A 49 year old man and a 20 year old will go to court in February.
