Officers from Saskatchewan RCMP’s Roving Traffic Unit (RTU) and the Province of Saskatchewan’s Saskatchewan Highway Patrol (SHP) were doing proactive patrols in the Swift Current area when they uncovered and seized eight kilograms—”potentially millions of doses”—of fentanyl earlier this week.
As a result of that continued investigation, 26-year-old Swati Narula and 28-year-old Kunwardeep Singh, both from Calgary, are each charged with one count each of trafficking under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act and possession for the purpose of trafficking.
The accused told investigators that they were travelling to Regina.
Both suspects appeared in Swift Current Provincial Court on January 29.
“This is a significant fentanyl seizure. Keep in mind that only a few grains of fentanyl is enough to potentially cause a fatal overdose. We have prevented potentially millions of doses of this dangerous drug from entering our communities,” says Supt. Grant St. Germaine, in Charge of Saskatchewan RCMP Traffic Services. “I hope this is a message to others who choose to transport illicit goods in our province. Our officers are watching out for you.”
The same RCMP Roving Traffic Unit, along with Saskatchewan Highway Patrol officers, were doing proactive patrols and conducted a traffic stop on January 9, 2025.
As a result of that investigation, officers located and seized approximately 700 kg of illicit cannabis and a sum of cash from inside a large cargo van. An adult male was arrested and charged with trafficking and possession for the purpose of trafficking.
