New Brunswick RCMP say three people were arrested and over a dozen firearms were seized in a drug investigation that began in January.

Last Friday, at around 6 a.m., RCMP and Police Dog Services executed a search warrant at a residence on Wilmot Road in Wilmot, N.B.

Police say they seized 17 firearms, crystal meth, various ammunition, drug paraphernalia and cash.

Three individuals were arrested at the scene: a 28-year-old man and 66-year-old man from Wilmot, and a 36-year-old man from Elmwood.
