Four people were arrested in Saskatoon Thursday in connection to a cocaine trafficking investigation.  

At 12:30 p.m., a traffic stop was conducted after officers watched what looked like a drug deal take place. 

Two men ages 18 and 20 were taken into custody, while a third ran away with what looked like a firearm. 

The 16-year-old male was caught by a police dog. Upon his arrest it was discovered that the gun was a replica. 

A search warrant was then executed in the 100 block of Willis Crescent where a 28-year-old man was also arrested. Inside, officers seized over $26,000 in cash, 69 grams of cocaine, 11 cellphones, scales, a 2016 Jeep Grand Cheroke, bear spray, and cryptocurrency wallets.
