A Fox Creek man is facing charges after a report led to drugs being seized.

On April 15, Fox Creek RCMP responded to a report of a male trying to sell drugs in the Town of Fox Creek.

A traffic stop occurred, where drugs, money and bear spray were found, and a man was arrested. A search was then done at a residence in the town where more drugs were found.

A total of $53,234 and 120 grams of cocaine were seized from both the traffic stop and the search warrant.

Fifty-nine-year-old Salahadin Omar Idris is now facing charges, including possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, possession of a prohibited device without a license, possession of property obtained by crime over $5000, carrying a concealed weapon and two counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking cocaine.
