A Regina man was arrested and is facing charges following a weapons offence in Saskatoon.
On Aug. 18, at approximately 4:20 a.m. police were called to the area of Pendygrasse Road and McCormack Road for reports of a man slashing car tires.
Upon arrival, officers began searching for the suspect and shortly after located a man matching the description, walking Eastbound on Pendygrasse Road. Upon further investigation, officers learned the man had a warrant for his arrest out of Regina; he was then arrested.
While being arrested for the outstanding warrant, officers found the man to be in possession of two knives as well.
