An ongoing investigation into drug trafficking has resulted in the seizure of cocaine in Yorkton, according to RCMP.

Sept. 12 saw officers with Yorkton’s Trafficking Response Team execute a search warrant at a home on Dalebrooke Drive in the city.

Police arrested a man outside the residence and a woman inside the home during the operation.

The team seized approximately $17,000 in cash and quantities of crack and powdered cocaine during the operation.

As a result of the ongoing investigation, a 39-year-old man and 40-year-old woman have each been charged with one count of possessing cocaine for the purpose of trafficking and one count of possessing property obtained by crime over $5,000.

The pair made their first appearance in court on Sept. 13.
