drug bust

Taken from the Brandon City Police crime news website:
Firearms and Drug Charges
At noon hour yesterday Brandon Police Police executed a search warrant on a property located in the 500blk-Douglas St. Police seized cocaine with a street value of over $13,000, 2 firearms: a shotgun and a handgun, with ammunition and a canister of pepper spray. Investigation by police revealed the shotgun was reported as stolen in Brandon in December, 2005 and the handgun had never been registered in Canada.
Arrested were 2 Brandon men, ages 26 & 30, on charges of: Unsafe Storage of Firearms & Ammunition x 4: Possession of a Prohibited Weapon: Unauthorized Possession of a Firearm x 2: Possession of a Prohibited Firearm with Ammunition x 2: Possession of a Firearm Obtained by Crime: & Possession of a Controlled Substance for the Purpose of Trafficking.
The suspects were held in custody and will be appear in Provincial Court this morning.
I would expect that is a good qty of cocaine taken off Brandon streets, valued at $13,000, although I am not realy up on the value of cocaine - but at least its some off the streets.
