A routine traffic stop in Wallaceburg has led to drug trafficking charges for four people.
The Chatham-Kent Police Service said officers stopped a vehicle on Elizabeth Street shortly before 1 a.m. on Sunday after noticing a traffic violation.
During the traffic stop, the driver provided false information to officers, which led to his arrest. The three other occupants were also arrested.
