RCMP release more details on Dryden Firearms Seizure

Two Dryden men have been arrested following the seizure of 100-firearms and 50-prohibited knives from the Brandon Gun and Hobby Show on December 12th.


Rob Duttchen is a Detective with the National Weapons Enforcement Support Team and he provides details of the investigation.

Duttchen says the licenced dealer is 71-year-old Robert MacGillvary and Police say they have been investigating the sale of the prohibited weapons since the start of Fall.

The arrest led to the search warrant of MacGillvary's home on December 13th, which led to 11-charges against the accused.

The two men were held in custody and were released within 24-hours.

The name of the second man has not been released.

Officers seized several spring-loaded knives.
