RCMP seizes cocaine, fentanyl during raids in Martensville and Saskatoon

A drug bust by Saskatchewan police has led to the seizure of a variety of drugs, including cocaine, cannabis, fentanyl and Xanax.

The RCMP said officers from a number of units — including the Prince Albert Crime Reduction Team — executed warrants at locations in Martensville and Saskatoon as part of an ongoing investigation into drug trafficking.

“Officers located and seized items including one kilogram of cocaine, 550 grams of cannabis, 154 packages of cannabis gummies, 138 grams of psilocybin mushrooms, 13 grams of suspected fentanyl, 15 fentanyl patches and an assortment of pharmaceutical pills, including approximately 11,200 Xanax tablets,” the Mounties said in a media release.

A 23-year-old man from Martensville and a 24-year-old man from Saskatoon were arrested. The RCMP said the men were “returned to custody for breach of parole conditions,” but didn’t say what, if any, new charges the men faced as a result of the drug bust.

Police said their investigation is continuing.
