A 21-year-old man and a 19-year-old woman are facing a slew of charges after the RCMP seized drugs and stolen handguns from a home in North Kentville, N.S.
Police searched the Scott Drive home on Oct. 5. They say the search was conducted as a result of an investigation into a break-in and theft at a business in Canning, N.S. on Oct. 3.
Investigators allege restricted handguns were stolen from the business during the break-in.
Police say officers recovered the stolen handguns, as well as a number of long guns and quantities of cocaine, cannabis, and a large amount of cash, from the home in North Kentville.
Two people were arrested at the home without incident.

Markle is facing additional charges of break and enter to a business and stealing a firearm.
Markle and Collins, both of North Kentville, appeared in Kentville provincial court on Tuesday. They were both released on conditions and are due back in court on Nov. 7.
Police say the investigation is ongoing.
