Alberta RCMP have released details from an investigation last month which led to the seizure of “do it yourself’ style firearms.
In February, Vancouver border agents seized a prohibited component for a firearm that had been shipped from China
The finding and subsequent seizure of the part led police to investigate a home in Parkland County, where they found multiple 3D-printed guns.
During the search, police also found numerous partially completed 3D printed guns and magazines, ammunition, and counterfeit money
