Two males, ages 34 and 29, are facing numerous drug trafficking charges as the result of a months-long drug investigation in the city of Regina, carried out by members of the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU)*.
On August 29, 2017, members of CFSEU executed a CDSA search warrant at a residence in the 1300 block of North Stockton Street. The search was the culmination of a complex investigation initiated in May, 2017, into high-level drug trafficking in the city of Regina. Two males were arrested from the residence without incident. Police entered the residence at about 11:00 p.m. and, in addition to the arrest of the two males present, located quantities of cocaine, methamphetamine, some marihuana, and a large amount of Canadian currency. There were also several items consistent with drug trafficking activity (baggies, score sheets, money counter, heat sealer, elastic bands for wrapping money, etc.). The two males from the residence were subsequently charged.
