Wollaston Lake RCMP officers stopped 59 grams of crack cocaine from entering their detachment area.

On April 27, 2026, Wollaston Lake RCMP determined an individual planned to bring illicit drugs into the community of Wollaston Lake.

Officers located the individual, an adult male, as they arrived in the community. He provided a false name to police. Investigation determined he also was carrying documentation with the false name.

He was arrested. Officers located approximately 59 grams of crack cocaine in his belongings.

As a result of continued investigation, 19-year-old Richard Dreaver from Saskatoon is charged with:

- one count, possession – cocaine, Section 4(1), Controlled Drugs and Substances Act;

- one count, possession for the purpose of trafficking – cocaine, Section 5(2), Controlled Drugs and Substances Act;

- one count, obstruct peace officer, Section 129(a), Criminal Code;

- one count, identity fraud, Section 403(1)(a), Criminal Code; and

- two counts, fail to comply with probation order, Section 733.1(1), Criminal Code.

“Wollaston Lake RCMP are committed to keeping our community safe. Part of this is making sure dangerous items – like illicit drugs – don’t enter our detachment area,” says Sgt. Robert Gatenby from the Wollaston Lake RCMP. “A seizure of 59 grams of crack cocaine may not be a big seizure in a large city, but it means significant harm reduction in a small, remote community like ours. We’ll continue proactively working to keep drugs out.” 

Richard Dreaver was remanded into custody until his next scheduled appearance in La Ronge Provincial Court on April 30, 2026.
