Saanich police and the Emergency Response Team raided the home on Thursday. The search turned up about $10,000 worth of cocaine, hashish, crack cocaine, marijuana and crystal meth, as well as several weapons, police said.

Acting Sgt. Jereme Leslie said the house is in a fairly quiet residential area of Saanich near two parks and a church.

Leslie could not say what kind of weapons were seized.

One of the men arrested, 43-year-old Eric Hartley of Saanich, was held in custody and is facing charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking, possession of a prohibited weapon, and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose. The other man, a 34-year-old Saanich resident, was released pending a court appearance in October.
