Cocaine, cash, and drug trafficking paraphernalia were seized by Stanley Mission RCMP during a traffic stop.

On September 26, 2026 at approximately 2:05 a.m., Stanley Mission RCMP were conducting proactive patrols in Stanley Mission, and conducted a traffic stop. Officers observed drug trafficking paraphernalia and open alcohol in plain view. The vehicle’s three occupants were arrested. During a search of the vehicle, officers located and seized over one kilogram of suspected cocaine, cash, and drug trafficking paraphernalia. 

As a result of investigation, 36-year-old Suzie McKenzie from Sucker River has been charged with:

• two counts, fail to comply with release order conditions, Section 145(5)(a), Criminal Code; and
• one count, possession for the purpose of trafficking - cocaine, Section 5(2), Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.

The other two occupants of the vehicle, 33-year-old Erica McKenzie from Sucker River and 29-year-old Jason Roberts from Stanley Mission, were arrested on warrants from Waskesiu RCMP and Stanley Mission RCMP respectively. Erica McKenzie was wanted for a flight from police charge. Jason Roberts was wanted for a break and enter charge. 

“Proactive patrols are an important part of how we keep our communities safe. In this case, what began as a traffic stop resulted in officers intercepting a significant quantity of dangerous illicit drugs before they could circulate in the community," stated S/Sgt. Derek Eberle with La Ronge RCMP. "This is a clear example of how proactive policing can have a direct impact on community safety.”

Suzie McKenzie appeared in court in La Ronge on September 28, 2026 (Information #90648461).
