Two California men were arrested over the weekend during an Oregon State Police traffic stop that yielded $55,000 worth of heroin found in the trunk.
The stop happened just after midnight Saturday along Interstate 5 near Medford.
A trooper pulled over a 2011 Honda Accord near milepost 33 for a speed violation. A search of the vehicle by a drug detection canine turned up 1.6 pounds of heroin in the trunk, said Lieutenant Gregg Hastings, an OSP spokesman.
