Police say spike in overdoses contained following arrests
Saskatoon police believe the arrests of three men Sunday have put a tainted drug scare to rest for the time being.
Superintendent David Haye spoke to reporters at police headquarters Monday morning, shortly after the trio made their first appearances in Saskatoon Provincial Court.
“What I can tell you is, since the arrests, we’ve had no more calls of fentanyl overdoses,” Haye said. “We believe we have the right people in custody.”
Over the weekend, police put out a warning about fentanyl-laced cocaine, saying a dealer going by the street name Joe Bro or Lil’ Joe was linked to the tainted drugs.
