The Saskatchewan RCMP say a major drug bust resulted in the seizure of 90 kilograms of methamphetamine and the test results are in, showing purity levels as high as 100 per cent. On June 1st the Saskatchewan RCMP Roving Traffic Unit conducted a traffic stop on Highway #16 near Maidstone, in an investigation that was being coordinated with the Alberta RCMP Serious and Organized Crime Unit.

There were two people in the west bound vehicle and police seized four large bags containing 90 kilograms of methamphetamine and 65 kilograms of cocaine with the combined value of approximately $4 million. The cocaine tested as high as 86 per cent.

As a result of the investigation, 19-year-old Sahilpreet Grewal and 20-year-old Parminder Singh of Edmonton have both been charged with Possession of Methamphetamine for the Purpose of Trafficking, and Possession of Cocaine for the Purpose of Trafficking. They are in Lloydminster Provincial Court on Monday to face the charges.

Commanding Officer of the Saskatchewan RCMP, Rhonda Blackmore says, “This is also another great example of how the RCMP’s work is not limited by our borders and we can pull resources from all provinces to get the job done.”
