A discarded 500 gram brick of cocaine was part of a bust during a high-risk traffic stop just before ten o’clock Tuesday night. It began with a call to police about a Mercedes being driven erratically on Highway 11 near Vic Boulevard.
Police say they found the suspect vehicle and deployed a tire deflation device, bringing the car to a stop on the Circle Drive Bridge. Officers say they saw a suspect throw a package over the bridge guardrail, before fleeing again in the vehicle. It came to a stop in the parking lot of a shopping centre in the 10 block of Assiniboine Drive.

The two men were taken into custody without incident. The Canine Unit located the package that had allegedly been discarded over the bridge. It was found to be a brick of cocaine.

A 33-year-old Saskatoon man and a 30-year-old man from Dundurn are charged with Possession of Cocaine for the Purpose of Trafficking. The 33-year-old is also charged with Evade Police, Driving While Prohibited, Breach of Probation and Breach of Undertaking.
