Local community members can take comfort in the ongoing efforts by area law enforcement to keep our roads safe and uphold the law. Earlier this week, a significant drug bust was made on I-87 in Clifton Park.
State Police from the Troop G Community Stabilization Unit stopped a vehicle around 4 p.m. The officers discovered 150 pounds of cannabis hidden within the car. This substantial seizure was found during what initially appeared to be a routine traffic stop.
The discovery resulted in criminal charges being filed against the driver, a teenager involved in the incident. This type of proactive enforcement helps disrupt illegal activity and sends a clear message about the consequences of drug trafficking in our Upstate New York communities.
