Authorities watched Nicholas for some time before moving on a search warrant for his residence. There they arrested Nicolas and a 29-year-old woman who was with him. Inside, authorities arrested a 56-year-old and a 49-year-old woman believed to either work for or with Nicholas.
The RCMP searched the suspect and turned up 172 grams of coke, over $16,000 in cash, body armor, and a loaded pistol. A search of the residence resulted in the authorities seizing ammo, more body armor, drug trafficking paraphernalia, and four modified shotguns.
