Five people from Hamilton are facing firearm- and drug-related charges after police seized a number of illegal guns and drugs from a downtown home Monday night. 

Hamilton police’s Gangs and Weapons Enforcement Unit executed a search warrant at a house on Mary Street near Robert Street at about 8:30 p.m. after a two-month investigation. 

Inspector Dan Kinsella said two “good quality” handguns and four “mid-range” rifles were seized, along with eight kilograms of marijuana, 60 grams of ketamine, 18 grams of cocaine and 15 grams of hash.
