Two people have been charged with drug and firearms-related offences in the Valley.

RCMP say on September 15th, police executed a search warrant at a property in New Minas.

Officers seized cocaine, methamphetamine, magic mushrooms and benzodiazepines, a conducted energy weapon, edged weapons, an airsoft rifle and cash.

Police arrested a 34-year-old man and a 38-year-old woman. Both were remanded into custody and appeared in court this week.

They’ll return to Kentville Provincial Court next week.
