A cross-jurisdictional investigation has led to the arrest of two people from Tay Valley Township and the seizure of firearms and large equipment.
OPP officers from the Ottawa, Leeds-Grenville and Lanark detachments, the tactics and rescue unit, the emergency response team and the canine unit along with Kingston police officers raided a home on Christie Lake North Shore Road in Tay Valley Township on Thursday around noon.
As a result of a search warrant, OPP say they seized several firearms, ammunition, all-terrain vehicles and utility terrain vehicles, a 16-inch double-axle with an enclosed trailer, a snow machine, a snowplow blade and chainsaws.
The estimated value of all items seized is over $125,000, according to OPP.
Police arrested two residents of the home, who they would not name, and charged them both with possession of unauthorized firearms, careless storage of a firearm, possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000 and four counts of possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000
Both accused were released following a bail hearing and are scheduled to appear in a Perth court on Feb. 26.
