A man with a long criminal past has been busted by Prince George Mounties for an array of prohibited weapons. Four others were arrested with him.
The 27-year-old was at the residence in the 2200 block of Quince Street when police knocked on the door with a search warrant on Wednesday afternoon.
"Seized were prohibited weapons, including a sawed-off shotgun and a sawed-off rifle, a rifle confirmed stolen out of Terrace and ammunition," said Prince George RCMP spokesman Cpl. Craig Douglass. "A quantity of methamphetamine was also seized."
Charges are now pending related to the weapons, including tampering with a gun's serial number.
The 27-year-old "is well known to Prince George RCMP members and has an extensive criminal history," said Douglass, who confirmed the suspect is a resident of Prince George.
