Both stops happened on the stretch of interstate running through Botetourt County. The minivan was pulled over Feb. 21 and a search initiated after a narcotics detection dog alerted, according to a search warrant filed by the Virginia State Police.

The other vehicle, a Ford Escape, was stopped Tuesday and a search was prompted by the odor of marijuana, authorities wrote in another search warrant application.

A state police spokeswoman said Friday no other information was immediately available for release about the incidents.

The minivan, a Toyota Sienna, was registered to a person named Cuong Tran, according to the warrants.
