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.

Surrey R-C-M-P say they served a search warrant at the home on November 4th, where officers seized a large amount of fentanyl, cocaine and methamphetamine, as well as multiple guns, ammunition and body armour.

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.
