Pipe bombs seized

Two people have been charged after police seized a loaded assault rifle, two pipe bombs and bomb-making equipment at a house in Prince George.

RCMP say Dustin Olson and Meranda Dingwall each face seven charges, including two counts of possession of an explosive device.

Twenty-three-year-old Dingwall was to make an appearance in provincial court Monday.

Twenty-four-year-old Olson has been remanded in custody at least until his first court appearance on Dec. 1.

Police say the bombs had the potential to explode and officers closed down a block around the home before conducting a search last Thursday.

Mounties say Dingwall and Olson are known to police.
