Two men were arrested on drug and weapons-related charges after a traffic stop evening of Thursday in San Mateo, police said.
An officer stopped a vehicle around 9:51 p.m. near South Norfolk Street and Fashion Island Boulevard for a suspended registration violation, according to San Mateo police.
The vehicle’s occupants were identified as Alvaro Ramos, 47, and Luis Luque, 45, both of Bakersfield.
During the stop, officers saw suspected methamphetamine in plain view inside the vehicle and conducted a search. Police said they found additional narcotics, ammunition, drug paraphernalia, and a driver’s license and credit cards belonging to another person.
