A Vancouver man has been charged after a large shipment of marijuana was found in a transport truck stopped by police at West Hawk Lake.

On Monday, at about 12:20 p.m., police stopped the vehicle for a regulatory inspection. The shipment, which originated in British Columbia, was headed for Mississauga, Ontario.

Subsequent investigation uncovered 118 pounds of marijuana hidden within the cargo, police said in a release.
