The investigation was launched after police say officers were alerted to a suspicious package being shipped to a Calgary home.

“The package was examined, and the item was determined to be a firearm solvent trap, which can easily be modified into a firearm suppressor,” CPS explained in a Thursday news release.

Calgary police arrested two people.

Shaun Alexander Folk, 42, of Calgary, and Erika Anne Hyndman, 29, of Calgary, face a total of 84 offences.
