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.
