A man is facing charges after firearms were seized from a Hammonds Plains home.
RCMP were called to Sandwick Drive just before 1 a.m. Friday.
Police say a taxi driver went to the home and saw what appeared to be a man trying to conceal a firearm.
According to Mounties, both the man and a woman who was present asked the driver to leave.
“RCMP officers arrived at the scene and were attempting to make contact with the occupants inside the home, when a man and a woman exited the residence,” police said in a news release. “The 30-year-old Hammonds Plains man was arrested safely.”
Mounties searched the home and say they seized a rifle, a replica handgun, ammunition and a small quantity of what's believed to be cocaine.

- Possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose (two counts)
- Possession of a firearm knowing its possession is unauthorized
- Unauthorized possession of a firearm
- Careless use of a firearm
- Failure to comply with probation 0rder (two counts).
Foeller was remanded in custody and will appear in Halifax Provincial Court today.
