A 25-year-old man is facing at least eight charges as part of a drug and gang investigation in Edmonton.
Last June, police found a handgun with a defaced serial number during a drug trafficking case.
Investigators were able to recover the serial number, which was registered to the man.
On Feb. 9, he was then arrested while driving a vehicle in Edmonton.
Officers allege they found 15 grams of cocaine in the car, which was packaged for distribution.
A search of his residence then "revealed additional evidence to support firearms trafficking," police said.
Police also allege they found 410,000 illicit cigarettes, worth about $100,000, and 120 grams of cocaine, worth about $12,000.
