On Tuesday, Jan. 16, an unknown man reportedly went to a Canada Post outlet in Fort McMurray and mailed what police said was a restricted firearm to an address in Edmonton.

The gun was intercepted at a postal sorting facility in Edmonton and police were called to seize it.

Investigators have been unable to find the person who was expected to receive the package, a news release Tuesday said.

In the two months since the seizure, EPS said investigators have since determined the man was illegally trafficking the firearm through the postal service and are now releasing photos in the hope someone may recognize him.
