One person has been arrested and a large amount of illicit drugs and weapons have been seized following a police raid on a home in Surrey.

A 24-year-old man was arrested for possession for the purpose of trafficking.

Police say the suspect also has a warrant out for his arrest in Saskatchewan, and he has since been transferred to Regina.
