A Kelowna man has been charged after police seized drugs, guns and ammunition.

On July 11th, officers with the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit found two kilograms of cocaine in a vehicle.

Police say a search the following day of a residence in the 400 block of McCarron Avenue turned up nine firearms including a loaded 9mm handgun and two semi-automatic rifles with prohibited over-capacity magazines.
