Police officers from the Estevan Combined Traffic Services Unit and RCMP officers from Carlyle and Weyburn executed a series of search warrants in the Arcola area, as part of a drug trafficking investigation .
The work began in February and continued through June and RCMP say to date, more than 130 grams of meth, more than 60 grams of cocaine, 4 grams of psilocybin, along with 7 squares of LSD, and almost 80 grams of GHB were seized.
Also in the seizure, $5-thousand cash, brass knuckles and a butterfly knife.
GHB is known as “the date rape drug” which can be poured into a drink and the victim loses consciousness, so police caution to be aware of your drink when you are at a bar, and don’t accept one given to you by a stranger.
A 43 year old Arcola woman, Nancy Williamson, is facing drug trafficking and possession charges and 2 counts of possession of a prohibited weapon.
Additional charges are expected at court on August 7th.

The Candian government wants the country’s banks to identify, in customers’ bank statements when they receive the carbon rebate, that it is labelled as such.
Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the lack of a clear identifier is contributing to confusion about carbon price rebates, so he is going to change the law if he has to in order to force the big banks to identify the carbon rebate by name when doing direct deposits.
The first rebate deposits in 2022 were labelled very generically, which meant recipients had no idea why they were getting the money.
T-D and B-MO have adopted the government’s requested “CdaCarbonRebate” entry, R-B-C and Scotiabank say they couldn’t make the change in time for the rollout, and C-I-B-C is still calling it “Deposit Canada.”
