RCMP have seized drugs and weapons from what they call a quiet Penticton home.

Police executed the search warrant on Thursday after a two-week long investigation into drug trafficking.

Officers became suspicious of the residence and started keeping it under surveillance in early November.

Along with the drugs, RCMP said two revolvers, semi-automatic weapons, a homemade-style shotgun and a crossbow were seized.
