Officers with the London police guns and gangs section, emergency response unit, and canine unit searched the home on Lorne Avenue east of English Street on Wednesday. Inside, police found a .410 sawed-off shotgun and one round of ammunition.
A London man, who was wanted on outstanding bench warrants, was arrested. He is charged with unauthorized possession of a firearm, possession of a prohibited or restricted weapon or prohibited device knowing no authority, careless storage of a firearm or ammunition, and tampering with the serial number of a firearm.
