Two people were arrested yesterday after a routine traffic stop turned up potential drugs as well as cash, police said.

Officers stopped a car in the area of Tribe Road No 2 near Ord Road in Warwick at about 1.40am.

Police became suspicious of the two people in the vehicle, a 64-year-old man and 58-year-old woman, and searched them under the Misuse of Drugs Act.

Officers later found several white rock-like substances and a quantity of cash.

The two people were arrested and released on police bail.

A court appearance is expected soon.
