WEYBURN – The Weyburn Police Service Drug Enforcement Unit, in collaboration with the Vancouver Police Department Gang Crime Unit, successfully intercepted a package en route to a residence in Weyburn on April 4, 2025. A thorough search of the package revealed approximately 17.75 litres of Gamma-Hydroxybutyrate (GHB), with an estimated street value ranging from $10,000 to $18,000.
GHB is a colourless, odourless, and tasteless liquid commonly associated with criminal activities, including "date rape," due to its ability to be secretly added to beverages. The drug is known to induce euphoria, lower inhibitions, and can lead to memory loss in users. By preventing any GHB from reaching the streets of Weyburn, it can help save many unsuspecting victims.
The Weyburn Police Service Drug Enforcement Unit, with the assistance of Weyburn Police Service patrol members, arrested a 35-year-old Weyburn man in connection with the intercepted package on April 7, 2025. A subsequent search warrant was executed at the males residence.
As a result of the investigation, the male has been formally charged with multiple offences, including possession of GHB for the purposes of trafficking, unauthorized possession of a firearm, unsafe storage of a firearm, and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.
The Weyburn Police Service continues to prioritize public safety through proactive drug enforcement efforts and collaboration with other law enforcement agencies.
