Officers seized two loaded firearms as well as ammunition, other weapons and contraband at the scene.

A 24-year-old man faces the most charges, with a whopping 10 counts of weapons possession, plus charges for unsafe storage, tampering with a serial number on a firearm, failure to comply and possessing a prohibited weapon knowing possession is unauthorized.

The other two men, 22 and 26, face seven and nine similar charges, respectively. All three remain in custody.

A fourth suspect was also arrested at the scene, but she was later released without charges.

Moose Lake RCMP continue to investigate.
