Two men face drug and weapons charges stemming from a Saskatoon Police Service investigation that uncovered a loaded shotgun, edged weapons and drugs during a search Wednesday of a residence in Saskatoon’s Pleasant Hill neighbourhood.
The service’s guns and gangs unit executed a search warrant at roughly 10:20 p.m. CT on Wednesday and found the gun, ammunition, an axe, machete, sword, as well as methamphetamine and hydromorphone at a residence in the 100-block of Avenue K South.
