5 people charged in Regina drug, criminal organization investigation

Five people in Regina are facing drug-related charges in connection to what investigators believe to be a criminal organization.

Last Wednesday, police said its drug unit arrested all five on a number of charges — including directing or participating in a criminal organization, trafficking cocaine and obstruction of justice.

The three men accused, ages 46, 35 and 18, made their first court appearances last Thursday.

The two women accused, ages 26 and 23, will appear in court Oct. 22.
