A 24-year-old man and a 22-year-old woman have been charged with the following:
- Careless storage of a firearm
- Unauthorized possession of a firearm

- Occupant of a motor vehicle knowing there was a firearm
- Possession of a prohibited or restricted firearm with ammunition

- Possession of a weapon for dangerous purpose
The man was also charged with possession of a Schedule 1 substance, possession of a Schedule 1 substance for the purpose of trafficking, and having care or control of a vehicle with cannabis readily available.
The man was remanded into custody following a bail hearing, while the woman was released on an undertaking with a future court date.
