Five from Regina arrested in relation to drug trafficking incidents and raid conducted north of Biggar

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.
