A 29-year-old man from Saugeen Shores is facing over 30 weapons-related charges after being arrested by local police on Thursday.
Saugeen Shores Police attended a Port Elgin residence in the 700-block of Wellington Street on May 4 attempting to locate a male wanted on several warrants. While on the property, police say they could hear a male screaming from inside a residence that he was in possession of a firearm.
Officers say they were able to place the accused under arrest without incident and that a search resulted in the discovery of .45 and .22 calibre revolver style handguns, as well as bear spray and a knife.
More firearms, weapons and ammunition were seized after executing a search warrant at the residence.
The 29-year-old now faces 35 counts of weapons-related charges, including four counts of possession for a dangerous purpose, four counts of concealed carry and four counts of careless storage.
The accused was held for a bail hearing and remanded into custody.
