RCMP say their explosive disposal unit was used in a drug raid in a La Ronge-area reserve earlier this week.
Three sticks of “emulsion explosive” were seized from a residence that was searched by Mounties early Wednesday morning.
RCMP also recovered a rifle, 13 grams of cocaine, half a pound of marijuana and $3,700 cash.
Five adults were arrested at the scene.
Mounties say 30-year-old Douglas Charles is facing several charges, including unlawful possession of an explosive.
Police say two more suspects arrested at the scene will also be charged.
