A 53-year-old man from Nasonworth, N.B., has been charged with over a dozen firearm and drug offences.

Around 5:30 p.m. on Jan. 25, Oromocto RCMP officers responded to a report of threats being uttered and a firearms complaint at a home in Nasonworth.

Police say the man, Roger Munn, was arrested at the scene.

Following the arrest, officers executed search warrants at two properties in the area.

In a Tuesday news release, RCMP noted officers seized an undisclosed number of 3D printed firearms, as well as non-restricted firearms, prohibited ammunition, soft body armour, and hard body armour.
