RCMP investigation

Two accused facing drug-related charges following RCMP investigation

Jun 1, 2023 | 12:37 PM

North Battleford RCMP are charging two people for alleged drug trafficking.

This comes after 40 grams of cocaine, cash, and other evidence consistent with drug trafficking activity was found during seizures at two residences in the community.

This included a home in the 1200 block of 105 Street and a property about two km east of the city.

The North Battleford RCMP Gang Task Force worked closely with officers from the Safer Communities and Neighborhoods (SCAN), unit who completed their own investigation simultaneously under the Safer Communities and Neighborhoods Act.

Micheal Desmeules, 42, and Morgan Geering, 30, both of North Battleford, have been charged with possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking, and possession of proceeds of crime.
