Arrests/Seizures - Methamphetamine Trafficking Investigation

Two Saskatoon men, both age 33, are facing more than 70 charges following an investigation into methamphetamine trafficking by the SPS Crime Reduction Team (CRT).

On December 16, 2022 at 5:00 p.m., members of CRT with assistance from the Tactical Support Unit (TSU) executed a warrant in the 400 block of Streb Way. The warrant execution was considered high-risk due to the presence of firearms. A male suspect was located in a garage at the property but refused to exit. After attempts were made by the Crisis Negotiation Team (CNT) the male was taken safely into custody about an hour later. A second male was arrested by investigators at a home in the 300 block of Hampton Circle at approximately 5:45 p.m. and a search warrant was executed there. The following items were located and seized; 8.5 kilograms of methamphetamine, 7.2 grams of cocaine, 7.3 kilograms of cannabis THC products, handguns, a sawed-off shotgun, an assault rifle, a loaded shotgun, brass knuckles, body armour, a machete, more than 2700 rounds of ammunition and drug paraphernalia.

Further investigation is now being conducted by the SPS Break and Enter Unit following the additional discovery of more than $100,000 worth of tools and six vehicles. Additional charges are anticipated.

Court information #s - 991217541, 991217589, 991217608, 991217610.
