“Officers located the parked vehicle, approached it and observed a firearm in plain view inside of it. The driver, an adult male, was arrested at the scene,” the Saskatchewan RCMP said in a statement.
“During the arrest, officers located and seized approximately 25 grams of suspected methamphetamine, some cash, and other drug paraphernalia. While searching the vehicle, two machetes and additional drug paraphernalia were seized.”
As part of the same investigation, the RCMP said officers later raided a home on the Big Island Lake Cree Nation, northwest of Meadow Lake.
“Inside the residence, officers located multiple firearms, several types of ammunition and illegal cigarettes,” the RCMP said.
Police said three men from the Cree nation – ages 25, 32 and 37 – are facing numerous charges. All three were scheduled to appear before a judge in Meadow Lake on Thursday.
