A 31 year old man has been charged by Saskatoon Police with illegally importing a silencer. Back in September the Guns and Gangs Unit, along with Canada Border Services, started investigating the importation of a prohibited device. Then, last Thursday, a search warrant was executed on the 700 block of Appleby Drive. In addition to the silencer, officers seized two long barrel firearms, ammunition, and tools suitable for altering firearms. The suspect is facing one charge of Importing a Prohibited Device and two of Unsafe Storage of a Firearm.
