Jacalyn Sammut, 23, is charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking, possession of an unauthorized firearm, careless storage of a firearm, possession of proceeds of crime.
The seized firearms arsenal consisted of:

Police also seized over an ounce of cocaine that was packaged in 35 bags and ready for street-level sale, and over $8,000 in cash.
The investigation was launched in November in response to suspected drug trafficking in the area.
