Three people have been charged with weapon offences, with one also facing drug-related charges.

Over the weekend on May 8, the Regina Police Service conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle in the 900 block of Albert Street. An officer observed open alcohol inside the vehicle within reach of the front seat and back seat passengers. The male passenger in the front seat was confirmed to be wanted on warrants.

While seizing the alcohol, police found bear spray and quantities of substances identified as methamphetamine and fentanyl. A further search of the vehicle yielded items associated with drug trafficking (baggies, digital scale) and a sawed-off rifle.

Two men and one woman were charged, with all three making their first court appearances on Monday in Provincial Court.
