Saskatoon police’s tactical unit got a workout Wednesday, assisting the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit search for drugs and conduct two arrests.

Police say the unit helped arrest a 26-year-old man in a parking lot on Laurier Drive for possession and trafficking of methamphetamine.

They seized one ounce of the drug, as well as 90 millilitres of GHB and a knife from the man.

After the arrest, officers were able to conduct search warrants at homes on Boychuk Drive and Kloppenburg Street.
