On Tuesday, Jan. 16, an unknown man reportedly went to a Canada Post outlet in Fort McMurray and mailed what police said was a restricted firearm to an address in Edmonton.
Due to the sensitive and/or legal subject matter of some of the content on globalnews.ca, we reserve the ability to disable comments from time to time.“The sale of restricted firearms in Canada is prohibited,”EPS Const. Marc-Andre Gagnon said.
“Additionally, there are strict rules related to the shipping of legal non-restricted firearms, including requirements for a secured carrier, a firearm declaration and confirmation that both the seller and purchaser have valid firearms licenses.“Not only is the firearm prohibited, the manner in which it was shipped did not fall within these parameters and it is therefore considered illegally trafficked.
Investigators have been unable to find the person who was expected to receive the package, a news release Tuesday said. In the two months since the seizure, EPS said investigators have since determined the man was illegally trafficking the firearm through the postal service and are now releasing photos in the hope someone may recognize him.Anyone with information about this suspect or this firearm is asked to contact the EPS at 780-423-4567 or #377 from a mobile phone.
