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.
Police say the seizure took place Sept. 5 following a search warrant and investigation on a residence in the 500 block of Columbia Blvd. West.
The investigation began two days earlier on Sept. 3, after a 29-year-old man was arrested on outstanding warrants.
The man was found to have 33 grams of methamphetamine in his possession along with a small amount of carfentanil at the time of the arrest.
Police then executed a search of the man’s home, later charging three people.
