Policemen in Oslo stopped two men and a woman on Thursday morning, seizing 45 grams of heroin from the car they were travelling in on the E6 expressway.

Suspecting that the driver was under the influence of drugs, the police sent him for a test. He was also found driving without a license.

They were heading north after drug dealings in Oslo.

The other man took responsibility for the 45 grams of drugs found in the car.

In the case of heroin, 45 grams is a fairly significant amount, a police officer was quoted as saying by the Norwegian news agency NTB.

The woman was found to be in possession of illegal pills. But none of them were arrested by police.

The three, all in their 40s, live in the middle Norwegian county of Nord-Troendelag.
