3 Londoners charged after house fire reveals guns and drugs

Three Londoners are facing 16 charges each after an investigation into a house fire revealed four firearms as well as cocaine and marijuana.

London fire crews responded to reports of a fire at a semi-detached house on Limberlost Road, in the area of Sarnia and Wonderland roads just before 10 a.m. Wednesday.

At the time, officials told AM980 one person refused medical treatment at the scene while a dog, cat and some snakes got out of the home safely.

On Thursday, London police revealed the investigation led to the seizure of two semi-automatic rifles, two loaded pump-action 12-gauge shotguns, 11 rounds of 12-gauge ammunition, 13 rounds of .22-calibre ammunition, and a high-capacity magazine.

Police also seized three grams of cocaine, 400 grams of marijuana, a scale and packaging material, and $6,270.

Two men, age 24 and 27, and a 61-year-old woman face the following charges:

Five counts of careless storage of a firearm, weapon, prohibited device or ammunition
Three counts of possession of a loaded/unloaded regulated firearm
Five counts of unauthorized possession of a prohibited or restricted weapon
Tampering with serial number of a firearm
Possession of a schedule II substance for the purpose of trafficking
Possession of a schedule I substance
The investigation is ongoing; the cause of the fire and an estimate of damage have yet to be determined.
