What started as separate stops for burned-out tail lights led to arrests for drug trafficking and sexual assault.
Regina police say officers found a stash of fentanyl and made two arrests for drug trafficking on New Years Eve.
“Thanks to the training that RPS CTSS members have in detecting drug trafficking - that stop lead to these two drug traffickers not being able to sell their poison in Regina. 31g of fentanyl, $1200, a scale, etc. seized,” a post on X from Combined Traffic Services Saskatchewan (CTSS) says.
According to police, a man and a woman were both arrested. The woman was also wanted for a separate robbery charge in Regina.
The man had multiple warrants for his arrest, including one from outside Regina and several others in Regina including a previous trafficking charge, the X post said.
On New Year's Day, Regina police stopped a truck for a burned out light that eventually led to the man driving the vehicle being arrested for warrants that included sexual assault and sexual interference.
An X post from CTSS about the incident said the man lied about his name before police arrested him.
