The Regina Police Service, with the help of the gang unit, patrol and SWAT, arrested a 31-year-old man Wednesday evening who was wanted on a Canada-wide warrant.
Officers said they found out the suspect was in a Regina residence on 7th Avenue through an investigation.
They added that they enlisted the help of SWAT because police believed he was armed.
Just after 6 p.m., two adults and a child exited the home without incident, with both adults taken into custody, but only one was charged.
