Four men are facing charges after an investigation into cocaine trafficking.

The Saskatoon Police Service (SPS) Drug Unit has charged four men between the ages of 22 and 28 who were arrested after two different traffic stops. During those stops, police located four cell phones, 4.7 grams of cocaine and about $2,000 in cash.

A fifth man, 32, was arrested in the 100 block of Wakaw Crescent. About $13,000 cash, drug paraphernalia and 1791.30 grams of cocaine, along with 7.3 grams of psilocybin and 4 pounds of cannabis were found in a search of a residence in that area.
