Police seized a quantity of drugs during a traffic stop at Whyalla yesterday morning.
Just after 11am, plain clothes police pulled over a car in Ian Street, Whyalla Norrie. The vehicle was searched and police allegedly located and seized about four grams of what is believed to be MDMA powder, 10 capsules of MDMA, empty capsules ready for filling and over $600 cash.
