REGINA – A man has been charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking after a residence was searched in Regina.
On Feb. 11, Saskatchewan RCMP’s Moose Jaw Crime Reduction Team (CRT) obtained a search warrant and searched a residence on James Hill Road in Regina as part of an ongoing investigation. Regina Police Service SWAT assisted.
Officers located and seized more than 400 pharmaceutical-style tablets, about 30 grams of unknown powders that will undergo further testing, ammunition and trafficking paraphernalia.
Four individuals were arrested at the residence.
As a result of continued investigation, a 31-year-old man is charged with:
– one count, possession for the purpose of trafficking (hydromorphone);
– one count, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose;
– two counts, possession of a weapon contrary to order; and
– one count, failure to comply with probation order.
The accused is scheduled to appear in Regina Provincial Court on April 8. Police note that the court information was recently signed, thus the delay in reporting on this investigation.
Another male arrested was wanted on warrants from Regina Police Service. The other two individuals were released without charges.
The investigation continues.
Regina Police Service, Moose Jaw Police Service and the Saskatchewan RCMP’s Yorkton Saskatchewan Trafficking Response Team, Regina Human Trafficking and Counter Exploitation Unit and White Butte Detachment assisted with this investigation.
