RCMP say they seized almost $1 million in cash after pulling over a speeding vehicle in Manitoba. Police say the July 31 traffic stop on the edge of Brandon led to the arrest of both the driver and passenger. RCMP say they pulled over the vehicle as it was travelling 129 kilometres an hour in a 100-kilometre-an-hour zone. Police say the bags of cash they found contained about $970,000 in Canadian currency. They say the 44-year-old was released on a release order while the 22-year-old remains in custody in Brandon.
