Two men have been arrested and charged after handguns, ammunition, pills, and cash were seized from a home in Harbour Main last week.
The RCMP’s search of the Ridge Road property involved several of their detachments—including the Emergency Response Team, Police Dog Services, and the RNC.
Numerous items were seized, including a loaded handgun, prohibited magazines loaded with prohibited ammunition, oxycodone pills, cash, and two ATVs.
