Police said officers caught up with the wanted man on Barrett Street, in the city’s Aspen Ridge neighbourhood, at around 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Police also arrested an 18-year-old man at the same time.
Saskatoon officers later raided a home on Barrett Street as part of the investigation, which police said led to the seizure of 57 grams of cocaine, 58 grams of crack cocaine, $12,145 in cash, two shotgun shells, a knife and “assorted paraphernalia consistent with drug trafficking.”
In addition to the outstanding warrants, police said both men were hit with 10 charges related to drugs, possessing the proceeds of crime, possessing weapons and breaching court-ordered conditions.
