Two men are facing criminal charges after a traffic stop early Wednesday morning.

Around 4:30 a.m. Saskatoon Police patrol officers and the Canine Unit initiated a traffic stop on an unregistered vehicle in the 2500 block of 22nd Street West.

Police say the 47-year-old driver was prohibited from driving. While making the arrest, officers say they found him in possession of methamphetamine, crack cocaine, and a scale. A search of the vehicle led to the discovery of a rifle, additional methamphetamine and suspected fentanyl.

The driver and the 28-year-old passenger are each facing numerous firearms and drug related charges.
