A large seizure of drugs and firearms in Surrey's Fraser Heights neighbourhood earlier this month has led to the arrest of a man in his 20s, according to Mounties.

Surrey RCMP said they seized a substantial amount of fentanyl, cocaine, methamphetamine and weapons after executing a search warrant at a home in the 16700 block of 109 Avenue on Nov. 4.

A 24-year-old man was arrested at the scene for possession for the purpose of trafficking.

"He also had a warrant out of Saskatchewan, which was extended to B.C. at the request of Surrey RCMP," Mounties said in a news release Friday, adding that he has since been transferred to Regina.

Authorities seized the following items during the Nov. 4 search:

  • 131 grams of suspected fentanyl, including 200 pieces of prepackaged drugs for street sale;

  • Smith and Wesson MMP2 M2 pistol (short barrel prohibited) with eight-round capacity magazine;
  • High capacity 60-round drum magazine;
  • High capacity .566 calibre magazine unpinned;
  • Two pistol magazines;
  • Two 50-round drum magazines;
  • Two banana clip 25-round magazines;
  • Loose ammunition;
