Saskatoon police arrested a 29-year-old man on five firearms-related charges after being called to a circle drive business on Tuesday night.

Officers were called to a business on the 800 block of Circle Drive East around 9:45 p.m. on Feb. 11 with a report that multiple people were loitering in the bathroom, the Saskatoon Police Service said in a news release Thursday.

All but one person had left the scene by the time officers got there, but police say when they entered the bathroom they found a man believed to be under the influence of an intoxicant who was wanted on outstanding warrants.

Officers arrested the 29-year-old man without incident. Police say they found a modified firearm in his possession. He now faces five additional charges, all firearms-related offences.
