Arrest made in illegal firearms manufacturing investigation

Charges are expected following an illegal firearms manufacturing investigation in New Brunswick.

Mounties said they received information last week regarding the illegal manufacturing of 3D-printed firearms.

That led officers to execute a search warrant at a home on Pleasant Street in Hillsborough last Thursday.

Police said they seized 3D-printed firearms, parts and components, along with a 3D printer and electronics.

A 27-year-old man was arrested at the scene and later released on conditions.

He is scheduled to appear in Moncton provincial court on Nov. 17.
