EVESHAM TOWNSHIP, NJ — A couple was arrested after they were found with a loaded handgun, two stun guns and pepper spray at a movie theater in Burlington County, police said.

An alert employee at the AMC theater on Route 73 in Marlton called police just before 10:30 p.m. Monday night after he saw the couple acting suspiciously and what appeared to be a gun in the waistband of the man’s pants, Evesham Township police said.
