Police said an officer pulled the pair's vehicle over Monday because it had a false inspection sticker. A search of the vehicle turned up the guns and drugs, police said, adding they found over 750 grams of heroin and a "large bag" of crystal meth. The gun was stolen from Boston, Massachusetts, police said.
The seizure "took a large amount of two very dangerous drugs off the street and which was clearly intended to be sold in the area," Tilton police Chief Robert Cormier said in a statement.
