Olds RCMP arrest man for illegal hand gun possession
Olds RCMP arrested a man last week allegedly in possession of an illegal hand gun.
Mounties say the 30-year-old suspect has been charged with unsafe storage of a firearm, possession of a prohibited firearm, unauthorized possession of a firearm, and possession of a firearm when knowing possession is unauthorized.
The suspect was arrested after police received information on Thursday, May 29 that he had an illegal handgun.
Officers conducted a search warrant with assistance from the RCMP Emergency Response Team and Police Dog Services due to the nature of the call. Members successfully completed the search warrant of a motorhome and the man was taken into custody.
