Battlefords RCMP are hailing a “major seizure for the community” after a search warrant in North Battleford turned up drugs worth a total of $750,000 in street value.

Police said in a release they searched a home on the 1200 block of 107th Street on Sunday morning, but no-one was inside.

Instead they found guns, drugs and several items believed to be stolen.

Among the drugs found were about three kilograms of crystal meth, six kilograms of powder cocaine, 288 grams of crack cocaine, 870 grams of fentanyl and several vials of steroids.
