Two people are facing drug and weapons charges after the RCMP raided a home in Bangor, N.S., last week.
Police executed a search warrant at the home on Maza Road around noon on Thursday and arrested a man and woman at the scene.
Meteghan RCMP says officers seized a firearm, several bags of unstamped cigarettes, a substance believed to be cocaine, and other items they suspect are used for trafficking illegal drugs.
Police say a portion of the cocaine was packaged into small bags and appeared to be ready for distribution.

possession for the purpose of trafficking (cocaine)
unauthorized possession of a firearm
possession of a firearm knowing its possession is unauthorized
