Police say officers saw what they believed was a restricted firearm inside the home, so they obtained a warrant and conducted a search.
During the search, police seized two rifles, ammunition and a quantity of crack cocaine.
The suspect was arrested at the scene. He is facing two counts each of unsafe storage of a firearm, improper storage of a firearm and possession of a restricted ammunition with a licence, as well as one count of unauthorized possession of a restricted firearm and possession of a controlled substance.
