Battlefords RCMP have seized a variety of firearms and ammunition following a weekend incident.
On Saturday, Nov. 24, at approximately 3:30 a.m. Battlefords RCMP were called to Battlefords Union Hospital on a report of a male suffering a gunshot wound to the lower leg.
The 38-year-old man provided a false name to police and hospital staff, including a fabricated story as to how he was injured. The victim remains un-co-operative with the investigation.
The subsequent investigation led police to a house on the 1100 block of 107th Street where a search warrant was executed resulting in a significant seizure of firearms and ammunition.
Items seized include:
A loaded shotgun in the process of being illegally cut down in length;
Four rifles of various makes/models;
Several disassembled parts of firearms;
A rifle with a 30-round loaded magazine;
A flash suppressor for a firearm;
More than 500 rounds of assorted ammunition.
The investigation is ongoing. No arrests have been made at this point.
