Drugs and weapons were seized as part of an investigation by Beauval, Sask., RCMP that started back in December.
Officers say they received a report on Dec. 23 about two men wearing masks and threatening people at a local bar on Dec. 14 with a machete and sawed-off shotgun.
Police say they identified the suspects as 27-year-old Hubert Cardinal and 40-year-old Edwin Corrigal, and believed the two were in Canoe Lake Cree Nation.
Efforts to find the men were unsuccessful at first, but on Friday RCMP found Corrigal in a residence on the First Nation.
