During the search, officers located and seized a loaded crossbow, ammunition, a firearm, 75 grams of cocaine, and drug trafficking paraphernalia. A male and two females were arrested at the residence.
While Melfort RCMP were at the home, another male arrived in a vehicle. Officers approached the vehicle and observed firearms inside. The male was arrested and officers seized two loaded firearms from inside the vehicle.
23-year-old Gabriela Carballea and 53-year-old Jesus Carballea from Melfort are facing multiple charges.
