Police obtained a warrant and conducted a search of the home, discovering three replica firearms which have now been seized.

A 26 year old Saanich man, who is known to police, has been arrested.

The suspect was in breach of various imposed conditions.  Saanich Police will be recommending five charges of breaching a recognizance and he will be appearing before the courts later today.
