Three people are facing charges stemming from a Integrated Street Enforcement Team investigation last week.

On June 21, police took several people into custody at a home in the 800 block of 13th Street West.

Police found and seized a loaded .22 sawed-off rifle, a sawed-off 12-gauge shotgun, ammunition, packaging materials, two functioning digital scales, a bag of methamphetamine and cash. Police also seized several other weapons, including a sword, fish bat and a pellet gun.

A 38-year-old man was arrested on an outstanding Canada-wide warrant and faces new charges of possession of a dangerous weapon. He was also charged with careless use of a firearm, possession of the proceeds of crime, possession of a prohibited firearm and possession of stolen property.

A 28-year-old was charged with unlawful possession of a controlled substance in relation to the incident. A 56-year-old man was charged with possession of drugs for the purpose of trafficking.

Police recovered a fat bike, which had been reported as stolen during a break and enter earlier this month.

The ISET team was made up of members from the Prince Albert Police Service and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
