      A North Vancouver RCMP officer was apparently doing, well, whatever cops do, when a cellphone call came in with an offer to buy some marijuana.

      So the officer arranged to buy some weed later the same day at an "undisclosed location".

      The sting resulted in the arrest of two Coquitlam residents, a 25-year-old man and a 23-year-old woman.

      "It is not every day that drug dealers call us to do business with them," Cpl. Richard De Jong, spokesperson for the North Vancouver RCMP, stated in a news release today (January 9). "I am sure they were as surprised as we were!"

      Police say they found an "undisclosed amount" of marijuana, cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine in a vehicle.

      They're recommending charges of trafficking in marijuana and possession for the purpose of trafficking.
