During the investigation, officers discovered a bag containing nearly five kilograms of methamphetamine and over four kilograms of fentanyl inside the vehicle.

Two people were arrested at the scene, police say — Pavitar Singh and Manan Kumar, both from Edmonton.

They’re both facing trafficking-related charges and are scheduled to appear in Yorkton Provincial Court tomorrow.
