Maidstone RCMP seized cocaine, methamphetamine, fentanyl, and gamma hydroxybutyrate during a traffic stop and residential search warrant in the Maidstone detachment area.

On October 9, 2026, Maidstone RCMP, with assistance from Saskatchewan RCMP’s Lloydminster Crime Reduction Team and Saskatchewan Trafficking and Response Team, conducted a traffic stop on Highway #17 near Lloydminster, SK as part of a drug trafficking investigation.

As a result of investigation, two adult females were arrested.

During a subsequent search of their vehicle, officers located and seized approximately 101 grams of cocaine, 250 millilitres of gamma hydroxybutyrate, 78 grams of methamphetamine, a small amount of fentanyl, drug trafficking paraphernalia, and a sum of cash.

As part of the ongoing investigation, later that same day, Saskatchewan RCMP executed a search warrant at a residence in Lashburn, SK. Inside the residence, officers located approximately 33 grams of cocaine, 14 grams of methamphetamine, 1.2 litres of gamma hydroxybutyrate, a crossbow, and a loaded firearm.
