A pair of investigations has resulted in seven arrests and the seizure of various drugs and guns.
On Sept. 29, the Saskatoon Integrated Drug Enforcement Street Team made five high-risk arrests and seized guns and drugs.
Police then executed a search warrant and made two more arrests.
Six men now face charges that include possession for the purpose of trafficking as well as firearms offences.
The next day, a second investigation, this time by the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU) resulted in a vehicle being searched and another arrest.
Police found guns, drugs, and cash in that vehicle.
Between the two investigations, police found $70,000 in cash, 1400 fentanyl pills, 700 grams methamphetamine, 520 grams crack cocaine, seven handguns, five of which were loaded at the time, and one silencer.
