The Nova Scotia RCMP says an “accidental” call to 911 led to investigators seizing numerous weapons from a home just outside of Halifax.
Just before 8:30 p.m. on Monday, police received a call from a home on Astral Drive in Cole Harbour, which was then reported as accidental.
“As is standard policy, RCMP officers were dispatched to the home to confirm that there was no emergency,” read a release.
Investigators found out a dispute had happened between a man and a woman, and noticed damage throughout the home.

A 42-year-old man was arrested and held in custody overnight.
Police said William Adam Judson Butt is facing three weapons-related charges and a mischief charge.
