Shortly afterward, a search warrant was conducted at the King Edward Street address and seized the following a 12-guage shotgun with obliterated serial number, 4 shotgun shells of ammunition, excalibur crossbow, 21 grams of Psilocybin, digital scales. 

A 36-year-old woman and a 43-year-old woman face numerous firearms, weapons, drug trafficking and proceeds of crime-related charges.
