A 23-year-old man was arrested in Kelowna after a bag of alleged crystalline meth was discovered yesterday in a Kelowna hotel lobby.

Police located a suspect who was stopped at a traffic obstruction shortly afterwards. A search of the suspect’s vehicle revealed approximately one kilogram of fentanyl and crystal methamphetamine.

The suspect has been released without charge while the investigation continues. This includes a full analysis of the substances seized by the police.
