A 43-year-old Edmonton man is facing drug trafficking charges after the Regina Police Service Street Gang Unit raided a home in north central Regina this week. The operation on May 27, 2026, in the 800 block of Retallack Street turned up fentanyl, morphine, and cash.
With help from the Regina Police Service SWAT Team, investigators carried out a search warrant under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. Inside the residence, officers seized quantities of fentanyl and morphine, along with an undisclosed amount of cash. Seven other people were arrested on outstanding warrants during the raid, police said.
The 43-year-old Edmonton man has been charged with two counts of possession of drugs for the purpose of trafficking and one count of possession of the proceeds of property obtained by crime. He appeared in Regina Provincial Court on May 28, the day after the search.
This is one of two major charge announcements from the Regina Police Service this week. On the same day as the drug raid, police also announced human trafficking charges against Abdoulaye Gadjiko, a Calgary man, in a separate investigation.
The Street Gang Unit, which led the investigation, focuses on disrupting gang-related crime through intervention, prevention, suppression, and exiting. Retallack Street has seen multiple police operations in recent weeks, including a shooting on the 900 block on May 14 and a weapons-related arrest on the 1500 block earlier in the month.
