Two men in their sixties are charged with dealing cocaine after Mounties in Swift Current seized drugs, replica firearms and other weapons late last month.

Police say they executed a search warrant at a home on 10th Avenue NW in that city on Dec. 23 and found 36 grams of cocaine, cash and two bladed weapons.

Anthony Clark, 61, and Charles Johnston, 62, are each charged with single counts of possessing drugs for the purpose of trafficking, possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose and the proceeds of crime under $5,000.

The search was conducted by the RCMP’s Saskatchewan Trafficking Response Team, Critical Incident Response Team, Police Dog Services, Swift Current General Investigation Section and officers from the Swift Current Detachment.

The men will appear in Swift Current Provincial Court on Feb. 12.
