Police seized a number of firearms from a property in Rutland after executing a search warrant last week.

Local officers were assisted by the RCMP’s National Weapons Enforcement Support Team when they searched the residence in the 400 block of Laurel Road on May 20.
 

The warrant was connected to an active criminal investigation into suspected firearms trafficking.

“During the search, police seized restricted and non-restricted firearms from within the residence,” said Cpl. Nick Brodeur.

The investigation is ongoing and the matter will be submitted to the Public Prosecution Service of Canada for consideration of charges.

Anyone that may have information on this investigation, or any other suspected firearms traffickers, is asked to contact the Kelowna RCMP at 250-762-3300.
