There was a surprise waiting for the Vernon RCMP while searching a home after a weekend stabbing.A search of the kitchen of a home on 22nd Avenue uncovered a sawed off shotgun and a stick of dynamite. Cpl. Henry Proce of the Vernon RCMP said he has no idea why dynamite was being stored in the kitchen.“The item was 
in the kitchen; it might have been in the kitchen drawer,” he said. “I have no idea what they planned to do with it.”The home’s owners have now been slapped with restrictions under the Controlled Substances Property Remediation Bylaw. Police had found illegal drugs in the home but neither the amount or type of drugs was available by press time.Under the bylaw no one is permitted to live in or rent the home until an environmental engineer makes sure it is safe to live in.If the homeowner does not respond within 60 days the city has the option of pursuing fines of up to $5,000 for each day the owner does not comply with the bylaw.Bylaw enforcement manager Clint Kanester said that this is the ninth home charged under the bylaw. He said some of the other homes are in various stages of being repaired while some have been left vacant.“We don’t care who we’re dealing with we just want to make sure whoever owns it that they are aware of the rules and regulations,” Kanester said.As of Tuesday morning the stabbing suspect was still in critical condition in hospital. Maurice Faasse was severely beaten after allegedly stabbing two men at the house in the 3800-block of 22nd Avenue on Saturday. Thomas Trygvert Christensen was charged with aggravated assault in the beating while Faasse faces counts of aggravated assault, assault with a weapon, possession of a dangerous weapon and common assault.
