RCMP said they didn’t believe an injured man’s story and later seized numerous guns at a home in North Battleford, Sask.
Officers were initially called to Battlefords Union Hospital at roughly 3:30 a.m. CT on Nov. 24.
Police said the 38-year-old man, who suffered a gunshot wound to the lower leg, provided them with a false name as well as a fabricated story about how he was injured.
Subsequent investigation led Battlefords RCMP to search a house in the 1100-block of 107th Street.
During the search, a loaded shotgun that was in the process of being illegally cut down in length was seized. Officers also seized several rifles, gun parts, a loaded 30-round magazine, a flash suppressor, and over 500 rounds of ammo.
Police said the man remains unco-operative with the ongoing investigation. No arrests have been made at this time.
