Members of the Saskatoon Crime Reduction Team have concluded a drug trafficking investigation with the arrest of two persons followed by the execution of a search warrant and a third arrest.
At around 8:30 p.m. on January 24, 2024, the Saskatoon Crime Reduction Team, with assistance from the Tactical Support Unit and Patrol, took enforcement action on a man and woman believed to be trafficking cocaine; they were arrested without incident at a business in the 1700 block of Preston Avenue North. A search warrant was subsequently executed at an address in the 1100 block of 12th Street East where officers located and arrested a 21-year-old wanted man and made the following evidentiary seizures;
- 112.3 grams cocaine
- 6.6 grams methamphetamine
- $2,080 CAD
- Expandable baton
- Prohibited knife
- Body armour
- 2012 Volkswagen Jetta
- 2008 Lexus ES350
As a result, a 33-year-old man and 23-year-old woman, both from Saskatoon, have each been charged with several drug- and weapons-related offences. The man was also charged with possession of the proceeds of crime under $5,000. In addition to being unlawfully at large and in breach of court-imposed conditions, the wanted man arrested during the search warrant has also been charged with unlawful possession of a controlled substance.
