Police showed off nearly 100 seized firearms in Edmonton Wednesday morning, including 11 that were 3D printed.
Police showed off nearly 100 seized firearms in Edmonton Wednesday morning, including 11 that were 3D printed.
"These illegal firearms are produced without serial numbers, without any meaningful testing, with no licensing requirements and without regard for public safety," said Insp. Brad Lundeen with Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams (ALERT).
"For the most part, these are fully-functional firearms being produced in our neighbourhoods."
Officers allege they found the guns while searching seven homes in Grande Prairie, Penhold, Innisfail, Brooks, Lloydminster and Lac Ste. Anne County.
Eight 3D printers, 45 gun parts, 72 long-barrelled guns, eight handguns, suppressors, bump stocks and over-capacity magazines were found in addition to the 3D-printed guns, police said.
Lundeen said ALERT has identified "several suspects" but no arrests have been made as the guns are still being processed and officers are still investigating.
He added there is evidence that 3D-printed guns were being sold out of the homes they were produced in.
