The warrants led to the seizure of more than $350,000 in Canadian cash, substantial amounts of drugs including what is believed to be cocaine, methamphetamine, fentanyl and marijuana, a 40-caliber handgun with ammunition, and various items relating to drug trafficking, according to police.

Shelkie says the next stage of the investigation will include reviewing all of the evidence seized and forwarding all information to Crown counsel who will determine if and what charges will be laid.
