$115K worth of drugs, $31K in cash, several guns seized in Saskatchewan: RPS
Two men from Saskatoon and Regina are facing a combined 30 charges after a major drug and gun bust in the Queen City.
Two searches prompted by the arrest of a Regina man led to the seizure of several guns, cash, and $115,000 worth of drugs, police say.
The 43-year-old man is facing 28 charges following his arrest outside of a complex on the 3200 block of Arens Road last Thursday, the Regina Police Service (RPS) said in a news release. When he was arrested, police confiscated a loaded nine-millimeter handgun, brass knuckles and a knife.
After searching a home on that block, as well as the man’s two cars, half a kilogram of fentanyl, less than four grams of cocaine, and 4.2 kilograms of methamphetamine were taken, police said. The estimated street value of the drugs is $115,000, according to the release.
A number of guns and thousands of rounds of ammunition were also seized. They included a loaded handgun modified with a switch to make it automatic, a loaded handgun with a silencer, two semi-automatic rifles and a 12-gauge shot gun, it continued.

Body armour, tactical equipment and bladed weapons were also confiscated by Regina police officers, the service said.
Those findings led to charges including multiple counts of careless use of a firearm and eight counts of tampering with a gun’s serial number, police said.
“There is no doubt in my mind that getting these guns and knives and drugs out of the hands of criminals will have a notable impact on community safety,” said RPS superintendent of community services Kelly Trihart at a news conference on Wednesday.
The investigation also prompted the search of a home in the 500 block of 5th Avenue North in Saskatoon which led to more than $31,090 of Canadian cash, a 2016 Ford F-150 pickup truck, drug paraphernalia and a cellphone being seized by Saskatoon police.
Regina police said a 32-year-old Saskatoon man is being charged with possessing property obtained by crime worth more than $5,000 and trafficking a controlled substance.
