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.
Officers found a loaded sawed-off shotgun, machete, crack cocaine, marijuana and cash.
Then on Sunday, police returned to the same residence and found Cardinal hiding under some blankets in a van that was on the property.
Cardinal was charged with attempting to take a weapon from a police officer, assaulting a police officer, resisting arrest and two counts of failure to comply with a release order.
Corrigal faces several weapons-related and drug-related charges.
Both men are scheduled to make their next court appearance on Feb. 7.
