The inter-provincial joint investigation—known as Project Octane— broke up “a sophisticated drug network”, according to the Saskatoon Police Service.
Search warrants were conducted on four residences and a hotel room on April 8th. Police seized $226,600 in cash, 4,177 grams of cocaine, 167 grams of fentanyl, 67 grams of methamphetamine, 569 grams of marijuana and six vehicles.
A half dozen people were charged in July with a string of drug offenses.
Meantime, the Calgary Police Service executed 23 search warrants in Alberta in April and May. A total of 73 charges were laid against nine people in a period leading up to last month.
Project Octane involved members of the Saskatoon Integrated Crime Reduction Team, the Saskatoon Police Service Drug Unit, RCMP “F” Division and the Calgary Police Service Guns and Gangs Unit.
