Five people have been arrested following a significant drug bust by Saskatoon police.

An investigation by the Saskatoon Integrated Drug Enforcement Street Team (SIDEST) into fentanyl trafficking began in April.

During a May 31 traffic stop, SIDEST members noticed drug trafficking activity in the 100 block of 3rd Avenue South and arrested two men aged 30 and 33.

After those two arrests, search warrants at an apartment in the same block of 3rd Avenue and a home in the 600 block of Gillies Way led to the arrests of two more men, aged 62 and 33, and a 60-year-old woman.
