Traffic restrictions due to a police presence in Saskatoon’s Exhibition neighbourhood on Wednesday led to a massive seizure of drugs, cash, firearms and other items consistent with drug trafficking.

Along with the Tactical Support Unit, the Crime Reduction Team executed a search warrant at a residence in the 2300 block of St. George Avenue. Five people were arrested as officers seized 1.2 kilograms of methamphetamine, 161.7 grams of fentanyl, 2.4 grams of cocaine, 587 oxycodone pills, 18 unknown pills sent for analysis, $4,495 in Canadian currency, a .22-calibre sawed-off rifle, a loaded .32-calibre pistol, ammunition, body armour, multiple mobile phones and assorted paraphernalia consistent with drug trafficking (pictured).

A 33-year-old man and 25-year-old woman face charges relating to drug trafficking, weapons, proceeds of crime and breach of probation. A 41-year-old man was arrested on a criminal code warrant relating to domestic assault. Two other women arrested at the residence were released without charges.
