A firearms investigation with a large police presence closed down Uniacke Street Thursday night.
Halifax Regional Police said in a news release that they were searching a home in the area at around 7 p.m.
The street, which was closed to pedestrians and vehicles, reopened about an hour later.
In a Friday update, police said no firearms were seized during the investigation but one arrest was made.

According to police, a 16-year-old youth appeared in court Friday to face charges of:
- aggravated sexual assault
- unlawful confinement
- uttering threats to cause bodily harm or death
- use imitation firearm in offence
- possession of a weapon dangerous to public peace
- carrying a concealed weapon
- possess a firearm contrary to order
- breach of probation (x2)
Police said the investigation is not related to the Citadel High School threats, where a 16-year-old boy was arrested and charged this week. In that case, police allege the youth had threatened to bring weapons to the school, and seized “a number” of weapons from the teen’s home during the arrest.
