Guns off the streets

Two arrested after Sask. Mounties seize guns from ‘hidden compartment’ in Cadillac

Nov 10, 2025 | 9:30 AM

RCMP say they found several guns, suspected drugs, cash and a baton hidden in compartments in an SUV on Saturday, northwest of the Battlefords.

According to police, officers stopped a black Cadillac Escalade SUV near the Poundmaker First Nation. A 27-year old female passenger from the Sweetgrass First Nation was arrested on an outstanding warrant for assault with a weapon and failing to appear in court.

The driver, a 40-year-old man from Cut Knife, was also arrested when officers allegedly spotted unstamped tobacco products inside the SUV. Police said he was found to be wearing body armour and carrying “a large hunting knife” when he was arrested.

“A search of the vehicle was conducted. A loaded, sawed-off shotgun was located and both people were re-arrested for possession of a loaded, prohibited firearm,” the RCMP said in a statement.

“Another loaded gun was located under blankets in the vehicle back seat. A hidden compartment was located in the vehicle underneath two aggressive dogs. Once the dogs were removed from the vehicle, police located and seized four additional firearms from the hidden compartment.”

In total, six guns were seized from the vehicle, including four that were loaded with ammunition in the chamber,” a spokesperson with the Saskatchewan RCMP’s crime reduction team said in a statement.

Officers also found a second hidden compartment on the vehicle, which contained a baton, cash and “quantifies of suspected drugs.”

Both the man and woman are facing a lengthy list of charges, including several counts of unsafe storage of a firearm, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, possession of a firearm without being the licence holder, occupying a motor vehicle knowing there is a prohibited firearm inside and possession of unstampted tobacco.

They’re expected to appear in court in North Battleford on Monday, the RCMP said.
