A Digby County man is facing a charge of unsafe storage of a firearm.
In late January, Meteghan RCMP say they received information on a shotgun and ammunition that were being transported in the trunk of a vehicle in the area.
RCMP also received tips on two other occasions about the same vehicle, indicating the firearm was being transported improperly and may be loaded.
The vehicle was located at a business in Saulnierville on February 6, and the owner, a 39 year old man from Ashmore was arrested without incident.
He will appear in court on March 5th.
