Mounties said besides the guns, officers also found a prohibited drum-style magazine capable of holding 100 rounds and a rifle they believe was modified to fire in fully automatic mode.

A total of 37 firearms were seized along with a large volume of ammunition.

Chad Wood, a Deadwood resident, is wanted on 32 criminal charges.

Investigators said the 33-year-old suspect was last known to be in the Peace River area.
