An Edson, Alta., man was arrested Tuesday after Edson RCMP executed a search warrant and found guns and prohibited firearms magazines, police say.
At 10 p.m., Edson RCMP say they executed a search warrant at a local residence for firearms-related offences with the assistance of the Alberta RCMP Emergency Response Team (ERT).
Police said multiple firearms were located and seized, as well as prohibited firearms magazines. The suspect co-operated with the police and was arrested without incident.
