Kindersley RCMP say a proactive traffic stop earlier this month led to the seizure of fentanyl, methamphetamine, heroin and cash, along with the arrest of four people.
Police said officers were conducting proactive traffic enforcement on April 3 when they stopped a vehicle carrying four occupants in Kindersley.
RCMP said a search of the vehicle resulted in the seizure of about 51 grams of fentanyl, 16 grams of methamphetamine, a small amount of heroin, drug trafficking paraphernalia, unstamped tobacco and a sum of cash.
Two men and two women were arrested at the scene.
“Drug trafficking has serious consequences for individuals, families, and our communities as a whole,” said Staff Sgt. Sebastian Andrews, detachment commander for the Kindersley RCMP.
“Through proactive enforcement and ongoing investigations, our officers strive to keep our communities safe from the sale of these dangerous substances, such as fentanyl.”
As a result of the investigation, 43-year-old Sheena Mackenzie of Kindersley is charged with one count of trafficking fentanyl and one count of being at large on an undertaking.
Police said Mackenzie was also arrested on an outstanding warrant from their detachment as well.
Mackenzie was scheduled to appear in Saskatoon provincial court on April 7.
Forty-three-year-old Mark Rogerson of Kindersley is charged with one count of trafficking fentanyl. He is scheduled to appear in Kindersley court on May 19.
Curtis Mikituk, 45, of Kindersley was arrested for allegedly breaching his statutory release and was returned to custody.
The fourth occupant, an adult woman, was later released without charge.
RCMP said the investigation is continuing.
All charges are allegations before the courts and have not been proven.
