FTO Olson and Officer Griffin's late-night investigation into a suspicious car led to the discovery and arrest of a suspect, Union City PD reported on their Facebook page.
The patrolling duo encountered the vehicle on the 30073 block of Industrial Parkway, where they spotted narcotics in plain view and swiftly detained the occupant.

The suspect, whose identity has been withheld, was subsequently ushered to jail to quickly face the full force of the law.
