An officer patrolling the North Shore at about 2:40 a.m. stopped a vehicle near Eighth Street and Sudbury Avenue for driving without its headlights on.

While the Mountie was speaking to the driver, he noticed the butt end of a rifle.

Once backup arrived, the officer arrested the driver and passenger for possession of a dangerous weapon.

Officers searched the vehicle and found 200 grams of suspected fentanyl and cocaine, packaged for dealing.
