Lethbridge police seize 13 firearms from west side home

A total of 13 firearms and a significant amount of drugs were seized from a west side home by the Lethbridge Police Service Priority Crime Unit on Thursday.

Police say evidence of a bike chop shop was also found in the residence, containing several previously reported stolen bikes and bike parts.

The investigation began two days earlier on Sept. 3, after a 29-year-old man was arrested on outstanding warrants.
