The Estevan Police Service (EPS) has released information on a drug bust earlier this week.

The EPS’s Drug/Intelligence Unit conducted a cocaine trafficking investigation on a male from Bienfait. On April 4, at approximately 6:40 a.m., members from the unit and the Containment Warrant and Entry Team, along with the Estevan RCMP detachment, executed a search warrant at a residence located in Bienfait. Two males and one female were taken into custody without incident.

A search of the residence resulted in officers seizing a significant amount of cocaine and a small amount of oxycodone pills, along with money, cell phones, stolen property and other items used for the sale and distribution of cocaine. 

One vehicle was also seized as offence-related property.

Dustin John Tendler, a 35-year-old Bienfait resident, was charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking cocaine and possession of oxycodone under the Controlled Drugs and Substance Act.

He has also been charged with two counts of possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000 under the Criminal Code of Canada, and one count of failing to comply with a probation order, also under the Criminal Code of Canada.

The other male and the female were released without charges.

Tendler is scheduled to appear in front of the justice of the peace April 5. His next court appearance is on June 17 in Estevan Provincial Court.
