A search was carried out at their living quarters on the farm during which one 12-guage shotgun, eight 12-guage cartridges and casings of two 12-gauge cartridges were found in the roof.

Both men were questioned whether they were licensed firearm holders and they responded in the negative. As such, they were cautioned and arrested.
