A 23-year-old man from Debert, N.S., has been arrested after police allegedly seized a “large quantity” of cash, cellphones and cocaine.

Officers arrested two men after leaving a storage facility in Bible Hill, N.S., on Oct. 30.

They searched the vehicle the men were travelling in and a storage unit, which reportedly resulted in the seizure of the drugs and money.

According to an RCMP news release on Wednesday, Malique Daeshawn Olowu has been charged with:

• possession of proceeds of crime (cash)
• money laundering
• failure to comply with release order.

The other man arrested was released without charge.

Olowu was remanded into custody and appeared in Truro provincial court on Monday. He’s set to appear again later this month.
