Quartet charged after BC police uncover arsenal of guns, 20,000 rounds of ammunition

Police in Victoria say two men and two women have been charged after the seizure of an arsenal of assault-style weapons, thousands of rounds of ammunition and 4.5 kilograms of cocaine.

Police say officers began a covert investigation of a suspected drug trafficker nearly a year ago and obtained a search warrant for a home in Langford, B.C.

A search was conducted in June of last year, and police say one man was arrested as they seized the cocaine and 20 firearms, along with more than 20,000 rounds of ammunition, body armour and $27,000 in cash.

Federal Crown counsel approved charges against the four people earlier this month, including for the man who was arrested last June.

Police say he was charged with possession of a restricted firearm with ammunition, two counts of careless storage of a firearm, one count of unauthorized possession of a prohibited device, and one count of possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking.

The other three face cocaine trafficking charges.
