And then last Thursday, police exercised a search warrant in a home in the 400 block of Nicol Street.
In both incidences a number of drugs and guns were seized and 4 suspects are facing a variety of charges.
RCMP Corporal Jon Stuart says around 8 firearms, mostly rifles, were seized from the two homes….
There were also relatively small quantities of drugs in both homes, including cocaine, heroin and the date rape drug….
Both homes were well known to police who had been called to them dozens of times for incidents ranging from drugs, assaults, prostitution, theft and various other occurrences over the past year.
