Kindersley RCMP seize fentanyl, meth in traffic stop; two charged

Kindersley RCMP say officers seized fentanyl, methamphetamine and heroin during a traffic stop in the west-central Saskatchewan town, leading to the arrest of four people.

Police said officers were conducting proactive traffic enforcement on April 3 when they pulled over a vehicle with four occupants in a business parking lot in Kindersley.

After investigating, officers searched the vehicle and found about 51 grams of fentanyl, 16 grams of methamphetamine, drug-trafficking paraphernalia, unstamped tobacco, a small amount of heroin and cash, RCMP said.

A 43-year-old Kindersley woman, Sheena Mackenzie, is charged with trafficking fentanyl and being at large on an undertaking. Police said she was also arrested on an outstanding warrant from Kindersley RCMP. She was scheduled to appear in Saskatoon provincial court on April 7.

Mark Rogerson, 43, of Kindersley, is charged with trafficking fentanyl. He is scheduled to appear in Kindersley court on May 19.

Curtis Mikituk, 45, of Kindersley, was arrested for allegedly breaching his statutory release and was returned to custody, police said.

A second woman was released without charge.

“Drug trafficking has serious consequences for individuals, families, and our communities as a whole,” Staff Sgt. Sebastian Andrews, commander of the Kindersley RCMP detachment, said in a statement. “Through proactive enforcement and ongoing investigations, our officers strive to keep our communities safe from the sale of these dangerous substances, such as fentanyl.”

Kindersley RCMP continue to investigate.
