Officers approached the house, at which point several people, including the suspect, exited. The 29-year-old man was arrested without incident, as were another man and a male youth on unrelated charges.

Police said a search of the taxi’s trunk led to the discovery of a duffle bag containing a loaded semi-automatic shotgun.

The man is facing several weapons-related charges and a charge of failing to comply with a probation order. He made his first appearance in Regina Provincial Court on Wednesday.
