Two Winnipeg men are facing charges after police say they found more than $100,000 worth of fentanyl and a loaded shotgun during a raid at a home in the North End.

An investigation into two men suspected of trafficking fentanyl led officers to execute a pair of search warrants at a home in the 100 block of Charles Street around 8 p.m. Friday.

They say investigators found nearly 530 grams of fentanyl worth an estimated $105,700 on the street, a loaded, sawed-off shotgun and assorted ammunition, as well as digital scales.
