Two men are facing multiple charges after a traffic stop in which Hamilton police say they seized a small amount of crack cocaine, bullets and a loaded Glock firearm.
Shortly before 3 a.m. Wednesday, police stopped a westbound vehicle on King Street East, near Emerald Street North, because it didn't have a functioning rear light, police said.
The traffic stop led to a search of the vehicle where police allegedly found the drugs, bullets and gun.
A 25-year-old Hamilton man and a 25-year-old Toronto man face weapon and drug charges.
