Saskatoon police seize guns, components made with 3-D printer
CBC
Saskatoon police say their guns and gangs unit has arrested a 46-year-old man and charged him with manufacturing restricted firearms.
Police said the case involves components made with 3-D printers.
A 3-D printer creates gun parts by depositing thin slices of material — such as plastics, metals or ceramics — and building the object up layer by layer.
Police are concerned because guns made that way don't have serial numbers and if used in a crime they can't be traced.
Police raided a building in the 200 block of 23rd St. E. on Wednesday and seized guns and gun parts, including 3-D-printed components.
The man was charged with:
He will be held in custody until his next court appearance. Police said their investigation continues.
It's not the first 3-D printed gun case this year. Two weeks ago, the RCMP charged a Weyburn man with making guns and other offences after 3-D printed components were seized.
P.E.I.'s Public Schools Branch is looking for 50 substitute bus drivers, and it'll be recruiting at three job fairs on Saturday, June 8. The job fairs are located at the Atlantic Superstore in Montague, Royalty Crossing in Charlottetown, and the bus parking lot of Three Oaks Senior High in Summerside. All three run from 9 a.m. until noon. Dave Gillis, the director of transportation and risk management for the Public Schools Branch, said the number of substitute drivers they're hiring isn't unusual. "We are always looking for more. Our drivers tend to have an older demographic," he said.
