The RCMP and Regina Police Service (RPS) joined forces over the past three months in a massive operation to target drug traffickers.
The Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU) of Saskatchewan specifically investigated criminals from out of province who sold drugs, and often brought weapons with them.
“We set out to target the proliferation of drug trafficking in and around Regina, along with the weapons and shootings that so often go along with the illegal drug trade,” RCMP Inspector Rob Thorarinson explained.
As a result, 60 arrests were made and 443 charges laid ranging from trafficking in controlled substances, to possession of stolen property, to multiple weapons offences.
