Police in Fredericton have arrested four people for weapons charges after two vehicle stops on the city’s north side Tuesday night.
Police say the first stop was conducted at 10:30 p.m. by members of the patrol response team, major crime team, and forensic identification unit.
Officers say they established grounds to search the vehicle and found a firearm and prohibited ammunition.

A man was arrested for possession of prohibited ammunition, a related weapons offence and possession of stolen property. He was held in police custody and will appear in court Wednesday.
Officers co-ordinated a second vehicle stop, also on the north side, which they say was related to the first.
In that case, three adults were arrested and charged with possession of a prohibited weapon, possession of prohibited ammunition, possession of drugs, possession of stolen property and numerous other vehicle violations.
The matter remains under investigation by the major crime team.
