Guns and ammo seized in police raid at home in Lake Country

Heavily-armed members of the RCMP’s emergency response team executed a search warrant at home in Lake Country Monday seizing guns and ammunition.

Police got the search warrant for the home in the 12000 block of Shoreline Drive after a report of a gun being fired earlier this month, according to an RCMP media release.

Roads in the area were blocked during the police operation.

A search of the home turned up eight firearms, including prohibited and restricted weapons, along with ammunition.

No one was home at the time of the raid. An investigation is ongoing.

Anyone with information is asked to call Lake Country RCMP at 250-766-2288. Those wishing to remain anonymous can contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or submit a tip online at www.crimestoppers.net.
