A 28-year-old man is facing nearly ten weapons related charges after London police seized a loaded handgun during a raid on an east-end home.
Officers with the police guns and drugs section and emergency response unit searched the home on Egerton Street near Trafalgar Street and a vehicle on Thursday. A loaded 9mm handgun and a magazine with eight rounds of ammunition were found.
The investigation led to the arrest of a 28-year-old London man. He is charged with nine offences including unauthorized possession of a firearm, unauthorized possession of a prohibited weapon, possession of a loaded regulated firearm, careless storage of a firearm, and failure to comply with release order.
The accused was scheduled to appear in court in relation to the charges on Friday.
