Three people have been charged after cocaine and illicit prescription medications were seized during a traffic stop on the west coast.

A combination of RCMP and RNC officers pulled the vehicle over last Wednesday near Corner Brook.

Police say a search of the vehicle turned up a quantity of cocaine, unauthorized prescription medication, and other items consistent with possession for the purpose of trafficking.

Three men were arrested and each face a charge of possession for the purpose of trafficking cocaine.

The accused were released on conditions to appear in court at a later date.
