She will appear in Saskatoon Provincial Court on February 22, 2022 at 2 p.m.
“We’re pleased that as a result of this arrest and charges, we’ve been able to disrupt the cocaine supply in Hanley and area – it will help make the communities the RCMP serves in this area safer,” says Saskatoon Crime Reduction Team Sgt. Kory Davidsen. “The Saskatchewan RCMP is committed to combating illicit drugs, which put lives in danger and increases crime in our communities.”
This investigation was supported by specialized Saskatchewan RCMP units including the North Battleford Crime Reduction Team, Federal Serious Organized Crime Unit and Saskatchewan Digital Forensic Services.
