As a result of the investigation, five people are facing charges, three males ages 15, 16 and 19, and two females ages 18 and 19.
All are jointly charged with two counts of careless storage of a firearm, weapon, prohibited device or ammunition, possessing a firearm other than restricted or prohibited firearm knowingly not holding a licence and possession for the purpose of trafficking.
