In the late hours Thursday, members of the Weyburn Police Service’s Investigation and Drug Enforcement Unit, WPS patrol officers and RCMP K9 (Yorkton), executed a CDSA search warrant at a residence in the northwest area of the city. As a result, an 18-year-old male, a 30-year-old male and a 40-year-old female were arrested for trafficking cocaine, possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking and possessing proceeds of crime of a value exceeding $5,000.
Officers located an amount of cocaine having a street value of over $15,000, as well as over $5,000 of Canadian currency. This matter is still under investigation and further charges may result. The 18-year-old male was remanded in custody and appeared in Estevan Provincial Court on Monday.
