The Ministry of Environment continues their crackdown on illegal outfitting in Saskatchewan.

Four more people are facing charges as the ministry investigates a number of files and complaints around the province.

The latest charges date back to a 2014 investigation around the community of Hazlet, northwest of Swift Current.

The 2 and a half years of work has resulted in charges against 37 year old Gerald Meechance, 43 year old Neal Meechance, 59 year old Charles Meechance, as well as 47 year old Steven Pritchard.

The four were fined more than $70,000 for illegally outfitting.
