Cross Lake RCMP say a well-being check has led to the seizure of handguns and suspected drugs.

Police say officers were called Saturday morning to a home on Garrioch Drive to assist First Nation Safety Officers checking on the occupants of a residence. While outside the home, officers heard a disturbance inside before two males ran from the residence and fled into nearby bush toward the lake.

Investigators say one of the suspects dropped a handgun on a deck before both were chased and later found attempting to hide in the water.

Police arrested two Ontario men, ages 19 and 18. Officers seized two nine-millimetre handguns, loaded magazines, suspected cocaine, cash, illicit pills and drug-related paraphernalia.

Both suspects remain in custody as the investigation continues.
