Two people are facing charges after drugs, cash, and a number of weapons were seized from a Saskatoon motel room.
The Saskatoon Integrated Drug Enforcement Street Team (SIDEST) executed a search warrant with the Tactical Support Unit and a canine unit at a motel in the 2500 block of 22nd Street West at 9:15 on Thursday, August 27.
Police say they seized the following items from the room:
- 300.6 grams of meth
- 30.3 grams of powder cocaine
- 193.1 grams of crack cocaine
- 8.7 grams of marijuana
- 31 capsules of hydro morph
- $32,220.45 in cash
- One revolver
- One shotgun
- One .22 caliber rifle
- One 30-06 rifle
- One air soft pistol
- One machete
- Bear spray
- Packaging material
- Cell phones
Police arrested a 35-year-old man and a 47-year-old woman in connection with the seizure, including possession for the purpose of trafficking, possession of weapons dangerous to the public, and possession of proceeds of crime. The man is also wanted on a Canada wide warrant for breach of statutory release.
The man was suffering from two self-inflicted gunshot wounds to a lower extremity. He was treated in hospital, and released to police custody. Police believe he shot himself several hours before the warrant was executed.
The two accused are scheduled to make their first court appearance on Monday.
