51-year-old Saskatoon man faces weapon-related charges

The Saskatoon Police Service (SPS) arrested a 51-year-old Saskatoon man Tuesday following the seizure of various weapons and ammunition.

Members of the SPS guns and gangs unit investigated the case and on Oct. 4 at approximately 7 p.m., officers executed a search warrant relevant to a weapons investigation at an address located in the 1500 block of Avenue F North.

“The male suspect was arrested hours earlier on unrelated criminal code warrants following a traffic stop,” the SPS stated in a release.

Enforcement action resulted in the seizure of a .22-calibre rifle, 30-06-calibre rifle, multiple imitation firearms, ammunition, hunting bow/arrows and several bladed weapons.

Police say the suspect is now facing a combination of weapons-related charges. He was also found to be breaching a previous court order prohibiting him from possessing weapons as a result of past weapons-related offences.
