Surrey Man busted with 50 kilos of cocaine in Sask.

CTV is reporting that "A British Columbia man faces trafficking charges after police seized around 50 kilograms of cocaine from his vehicle in a traffic stop on Thursday. Gurvarun Matharu, 31, was pulled over on Highway 16 near Maidstone on Nov. 14 for a traffic stop, according to a Saskatchewan RCMP news release."

"With the help of a police dog, officers located nearly 50 bricks of cocaine and a sum of cash, the RCMP said. Matharu, who hails from Surrey, B.C., was arrested at the scene and faces charges including possession for the purpose of trafficking and possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000. He appeared in North Battleford Provincial Court on Friday."

Last year CBC is reported that "A traffic stop near the Saskatchewan-Alberta border in June led to the arrest of two Edmonton men and the seizure of cocaine and methamphetamine worth about $4 million, RCMP say." They were caught with 90 kilos of Crystal meth and 65 kilos of cocaine.

19-year-old Sahilpreet Grewal and 20-year-old Parminder Singh both of of Edmonton, Alberta were charged with Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking. 4 months later Parminder Singh was charged with a drive by shooting in south Edmonton. February 2024 Parminder Singh was charged in an extortion scheme targeting South Asians and was denied bail.

The Edmonton Journal reported that "Acting Insp. Dave Paton, for the Edmonton police organized crime branch, told reporters Friday that investigators believe the ringleader has been running the group from overseas — from India — and is affiliated with the Brothers Keepers gang in B.C.’s Lower Mainland. The Edmonton crime ring is believed to be behind more than 40 incidents in the city since October — shootings, and arsons part of schemes to extort targets for money, many of them local homebuilders." Parminder Singh was named in that bust.
