Saskatchewan RCMP say a man was arrested after more than 60 firearms and 10,000 rounds of ammunition were seized during a firearm trafficking investigation on Wednesday.

The Prince Albert Crime Reduction Team started investigating in early 2024, leading them to a residence in the Viellardville area.

“Dozens of firearms and thousands of rounds of ammunition have been removed from the underground market, and potentially from getting into criminal hands throughout Saskatchewan,” said RCMP Sgt. Ryan How.
