Subsequent information led officers to a home in the 400-block of Michener Place at roughly 6 a.m. where police located two men believed to be suspects in the home invasion.

Police said a backpack from the first man was searched and found to contain a sawed-off rifle, ammo, meth, a scale, and drug-packaging materials. The second man had an imitation gun.

Officers located a third suspect and property allegedly taken during the home invasion inside the Pacific Heights residence.

A 32-year-old man from Asquith, Sask., and two Saskatoon men, aged 33 and 46, are facing charges related to breaking and entering, wearing a disguise with intent to commit a crime as well as drug and firearm related offences.
