The Dare County Sheriff’s Office has reported that on April 24, 2020 at approximately 7:38 p.m., a DCSO deputy with the B-District working the Manns Harbor checkpoint stopped a vehicle coming into Dare County.

Just prior to the vehicle arriving at the checkpoint, DCSO stated the deputy observed the vehicle stop in the road and a passenger change seats with the driver. When the vehicle arrived at the checkpoint, the driver was asked to pull over so the deputy could find out why the individuals were switching seats.

According to DCSO, the K-9 alerted to the presence of controlled substances within the vehicle and the vehicle was searched and numerous drugs were located and seized.
