"The 37-year-old male passenger was searched and police seized three resealable bags allegedly containing methylamphetamine, a glass pipe and cannabis within the vehicle," Police said.

Both were issued with criminal infringement notices.

During the operation in the Hume police district, officers issued 44 infringements notices and charged eight people for traffic offences - including drink and drug driving, and detected three drivers with suspended licences.

Police also conducted 1356 random breath tests and 503 random drug tests.

"This is a timely reminder that Traffic and Highway Patrol are constantly saturating the region's roads, not just during public holidays," Traffic and Highway Patrol Command Hume Sector Inspector Lee Ingmire said.

"Our number one focus is saving lives and we make no apologies for clamping down on dangerous driving that puts people's lives at risk.

"In the lead up to the Easter and long weekend period, slow down, drive to the conditions and never get behind the wheel under the influence of drugs."
