Saskatoon police say officers arrested three 20-year-old men Wednesday afternoon and seized nearly $70,000, in cash as well as various illicit drugs.

Two of the three men, both from Ontario, were taken into custody around 2:00 p.m. without incident at a business on the 3100 block of Clarence Avenue South, a Saskatoon police news release said.

A third 20-year-old man was arrested without incident a short time later, police added.

Police say they seized approximately 16 kilograms of meth, 470 grams of powdered cocaine, 175 grams of carffentanyl, four litres of gamma-hydroxybutrate, 16 grams of fentanyl, $69,269 in cash and assorted drug trafficking paraphernalia.

Officers said the seizures were made after the search of three vehicles and a residence on Kolynchuk Manor early Thursday morning.

A total of 15 charges have been laid against the three suspects with all three remaining in Saskatoon police custody making their first court appearances Thursday afternoon, the release said.
