A 53-year-old man is facing charges following a search warrant at a residence in Little Brook, N.S.

The Nova Scotia RCMP says officers searched a home on Little Brook Road as part of an ongoing investigation Friday.

“Officers seized four rifles, three of which were unsafely stored, ammunition, and cartons of unstamped cigarettes. The residence was unoccupied at the time of the search,” said a news release from the RCMP.

John Dereme Comeau of Little Brook was later arrested and charged with possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose (three counts), contravention of storage regulations (three counts) and selling of tobacco products under the Criminal Code. He has also been charged with offences under the Excise Act and Revenue Act.

Comeau was released on an undertaking and is scheduled to appear in Digby provincial court on May 25.
