Stolen guns found in grass near Nova Scotia school
Police say 4 firearms taken in June 2024 break-in were discovered in Whycocomagh, N.S., last week
Nova Scotia RCMP have closed the book on a firearms theft last summer with the recovery of four guns near a school in Whycocomagh, N.S.
In a release Tuesday morning, police said the four firearms were located on the ground last Thursday. They were rusty and covered in grass. RCMP have linked the weapons to a break-in in Whycocomagh last year.
Just before midnight on June 26, 2024, police responded to an alarm at a business on Highway 105. They determined that multiple firearms had been stolen from the business.
Police searched the area and recovered five guns and a quantity of ammunition. At the time, it was believed four firearms were missing.
Four days later, RCMP arrested and charged a 19-year-old and a 14-year-old with breaking and entering and weapons offences.
