RCMP say a 48-year-old woman was carrying bags of narcotics when she walked into the detachment in Vernon, B.C., to pick up some paperwork related to a prior drug charge.

An officer's closer look determined she was carrying a cellphone in her back pocket, which was a breach of her court-ordered conditions. Not surprisingly, she was arrested.

That's when a further search turned up five pre-packed bags of cocaine, police say.
