Three people have been charged with firearms offenses after an incident in Timberlea.

According to RCMP, officers were called to an apartment complex on St. Margaret’s Bay Road shortly after midnight on June 6 after someone reported hearing a man screaming about a gun.

During the investigation, officers identified a vehicle parked nearby as being involved.

Police say the two occupants, a 25-year-old woman and a 36-year-old man, were arrested for opening alcohol in the vehicle.

During a search of the vehicle, officers located a modified firearm, ammunition and a small amount of what is believed to be crystal methamphetamine.
