Three people were arrested, two remain in custody.
Police say an investigation allowed them to secure a Criminal Code Search Warrant for the Main Street residence and three occupants at the residence were arrested. The search led to the recovery of stolen property including a stolen mountain bike and a stolen crossbow with arrows that had been reported stolen in early November.
Also seized were three non-restricted firearms with ammunition. A fourth non-restricted firearm had been manipulated in length making it a prohibited firearm.
Main was closed from Regina to John, with John Street blocked off from Main to McIntyre for about an hour. Police unblocked the street around 7 a.m.
