Traffic Stop Leads to Drug Bust

Saskatoon Police say a traffic stop last night led to cash, drugs and guns. Officers pulled over a vehicle on Circle Drive near the Attridge Drive exit around 8 p.m. and allege the 38 year old driver was in possession of more than $450 in cash, contraband cigarettes and a cell phone. Inside the vehicle officers say they located 2.8 grams of cocaine and five packages of contraband cigarettes. A subsequent search was conducted at a home in the 500 block of Reid Way where officers seized 86.8 grams of cocaine, 4.1 grams of crack cocaine, 15.3 grams of what is believed to be a cutting agent, more than $4000 in cash, two Airsoft handguns as well as drug paraphernalia. A second man, 23 years old, was arrested at a home on Reid Way, and both men are now facing charges of trafficking cocaine, possession for the purpose of trafficking cocaine, and possession of the proceeds of crime.
