Victoria police say two people were arrested last month after police found guns, body armour and a sword inside of a suite at a supportive housing facility.

Police say the items were located when officers with VicPD and the Greater Victoria Emergency Response Team executed a search warrant at a suite in a supportive housing facility in the 800-block of Johnson Street.

Inside the suite, police say they found a series of weapons, including a shotgun and two handguns, with ammunition for each firearm nearby.

Police say they also seized body armour, a sword, brass knuckles, a Taser, batons and several replica firearms from the room.
