The Regina Police Service, with the help of the gang unit, patrol and SWAT, arrested a 31-year-old man Wednesday evening who was wanted on a Canada-wide warrant.
Officers said they found out the suspect was in a Regina residence on 7th Avenue through an investigation.
They added that they enlisted the help of SWAT because police believed he was armed.
Just after 6 p.m., two adults and a child exited the home without incident, with both adults taken into custody, but only one was charged.
Police said they found a sawed-off Remington 12-gauge shotgun, 12-gauge shotgun ammunition, and .22-calibre ammunition inside the building.
Officers said Collin Pratt was charged with possession of a firearm knowing its possession is unauthorized, possession of a weapon obtained by the commission of an offence, possession of a prohibited firearm with ammunition, careless use of a firearm, tampering with the serial number of a firearm, three counts of possession of a firearm contrary to an order, and three counts of possession of ammunition contrary to an order.
Pratt made his appearance in provincial court Thursday morning.
