SASKATOON -- Around 1:00 p.m. Wednesday, police were called to help the Sheriff’s Officer evict a tenant who allegedly rigged up an illegal power connection to a home in the Dundonald neighbourhood.
Police also suspected the tenant may have had guns in the home, located in the 100 block of Manning Crescent, Saskatoon Police Service said in a news release.
As a result, the tactical support unit was dispatched along with patrol officers.
Around 3:15 p.m. a man believed to be under the influence of methamphetamine was taken custody without incident police say.
Police say a number of guns were found in the home.
A couple who built their home across the street 40 years ago, and has lived there ever since, called the arrest shocking.
“Very, very sad to hear that because this is a very good neighbourhood,” said neighbour Del McLouglin.
A 25-year-old male is charged with mischief under $5,000 and theft under $5,000.
