Regina Police along with Police and RCMP in Saskatoon have charged six people, five from Regina, with drug offences in relation to a large bust that was made north of Biggar last week.
RPS say drug trafficking was taking place in both the city of Regina, and the Saskatoon area.
As a result police arrested and charged 39-year-old Kurt Elliot Miller, who was also charged in an incident north of Biggar that resulted in the recovery of a large amount of illegal drugs and trafficking supplies, and an RCMP officer being shot and injured.
