A 35-year-old man is facing charges after a firearms bust by Red Deer RCMP in the city’s south end.

It was shortly after 8 p.m. on Sunday that Mounties responded to an apartment complex at the corner of Vermont Avenue and Van Slyke Way. RCMP were called to the building for a report of a man with a loaded fireram.

Mounties made contact with the man in question, who was the only person inside the residence at the time.

Officers removed several items from the building, including four long-barrel firearms, one of which was loaded, and 1000 rounds of ammunition.
