A man and woman are facing charges after police seized what is alleged to be an incendiary device, guns, ammunition, drugs and stolen property on Friday.
Police say that officers were conducting an investigation when they saw an incendiary device inside a vehicle at a gas station in Blackville, N.B.
As a result, the gas station was evacuated and the RCMP’s Explosives Disposal Unit was called in to safely remove the device.
