Update on Sept. 19, 2023: Charges against Modi Lako and Yasin Ali, were stayed by the Crown on Sept. 13. Shyrell Nyack, the person believed to have played the leading role, remains on bench warrant status.

A new trial date will need to be set for three people accused of possessing cocaine, crack and methamphetamine, along with weapons, after an arrest warrant was issued for one suspect.

A Provincial Court judge issued a bench warrant yesterday for Shyrell Nyack, 22, and also opted to delay a planned trial that was supposed to happen on May 19.

Nyack is co-accused with an Edmonton man, Yasin Ali, 27, and Modi Lako, 28 of Prince Albert.
