Two people are facing charges after a traffic stop by Saskatchewan conservation officers on Wednesday morning.
According to the RCMP, Mounties were called to a grid road west of Nipawin at around 8 a.m. to assist the conservation officers, who had stopped a man and a woman and allegedly uncovered what police called “a significant quantity of illicit drugs and weapons.”

“Nipawin RCMP officers further searched the vehicle and located one semi-automatic rifle, one flashlight taser, approximately 200 grams of methamphetamine, 54 grams of cocaine, a sum of cash and additional drug paraphernalia,” the RCMP said in a statement.
Both occupants of the vehicle – a 35-year-old man from Nipawin and a 30-year-old woman from Melfort – were arrested at the scene. They’re each facing two charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking, two counts of possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, and a single charge of unauthorized possession of a firearm in a motor vehicle.
The Nipawin man is also facing charges of possessing a firearm while knowing it is unauthorized and two counts of possessing a firearm contrary to a court order, police said, while the Melfort woman was also charged with unauthorized possession of a firearm.
They’re both expected to appear in court in Melfort on Thursday.
