Two men are facing drug trafficking charges after Brantford police seized cocaine, methamphetamine, and other items during a late-night traffic stop last week.

Police say officers pulled over a vehicle on House Avenue at around 11:15 p.m. on Jan. 23.

Cannabis was visible inside the car, a violation under the Cannabis Control Act, prompting officers to arrest the driver and passenger.

A search of the vehicle turned up 232 grams of cocaine, 70 grams of methamphetamine and 14 grams of crack cocaine.

The drugs have a combined estimated street value of more than $22,000. Police also seized a large amount of Canadian cash and several cellphones.
