Four guns have been seized and five people charged as a result of “proactive policing” by the Calgary Police Service’s gang unit, the CPS said Thursday.
“It is very concerning that we found these offenders in possession of loaded firearms while out in busy public areas. Thanks to proactive work and quick action from our patrol and VCST officers, we were able to seize these firearms and likely prevent further violence,” Staff Sgt. Mike Lalande said in a statement.
Police said they found three guns after the search of the men: all Glock-brand 9-mm handguns, one loaded and two with serial numbers removed.“In addition to the firearms, investigators also seized other evidence and two vehicles, which are pending investigation,” CPS said.
