Police in Swift Current say they recovered a pound of cocaine and a restricted firearm during a warrant search of a home in that city last week.

Taylor Weiss-Linder, 27, of Swift Current, was arrested at the time of the search, and on Tuesday, the RCMP announced they had laid a number of weapons charges against the man.

They include single counts of being in possession of a restricted firearm while prohibited, possession of an unlicensed restricted firearm and careless storage.

Authorities also stated that a substance found at the home is being analyzed, but is believed to be 500 grams of cocaine.

Weiss-Linder is scheduled to appear in Swift Current Provincial Court on June 12.
