24-year-old Gerrit Lester Huizing and 21-year-old Jessica Marie Bridge are facing drug and weapons charges after police visited 10 Donna Drive on Friday afternoon.

Officers from the Joint Forces Drug Unit and the Emergency Services Unit seized marijuana, a loaded handgun, a blowgun, and codeine tablets.

They'll appear in court on April 19 to face charges of possession of a controlled substance (2 counts), possession for the purpose of trafficking, unsafe storage of a firearm, possession of a prohibited weapon (2 counts), and unlawful possession of a restricted weapon with ammunition.

A rude awakening

In a separate incident, a west-end guy was in his bed Saturday night when he noticed an intruder entering his bedroom.

"City police were contacted and were able to track the accused person through the freshly fallen snow," police say in a news release.

"The accused was arrested a short time later. Nothing is reported taken from the residence. An April 20th court date has been set." More crime news
