The Saskatoon Police Guns & Gangs Unit has arrested a 46 year old man for allegedly manufacturing restricted firearms using a 3D printer.
On Wednesday, a search warrant was conducted in the 200 block of 23rd Street East and police say several firearms and firearm parts, including 3D printed components were seized.

The man is charged with manufacturing firearms, possession of firearms for the purpose of trafficking, and possession of a prohibited device.
He remains in custody until his next court appearance, and the police investigation is ongoing.

The Police Service reminds the public that it is illegal to manufacture a firearm unless you have a proper firearms business license to do so. A news release from the Police Service also notes that illegally manufactured weapons have no serial number and are a concern because they cannot be traced if used in a crime, so they are committed to removing these weapons from the community.
