Thirteen people were arrested last week after RCMP raided a residence in Wetaskiwin.

Maskwacis RCMP, with assistance from members at Wetaskiwin detachment, executed a search warrant on April 23, and arrested 13 occupants without incident.

During the search, they discovered a sawed-off shotgun, a sawed-off rifle, a taser, heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine and cannabis. The items were seized along with an undisclosed amount of cash.

Other items located inside the residence indicated drug trafficking had been taking place.
