Lloydminster RCMP say a local man is facing multiple charges after officers seized several firearms during a search of a city residence earlier this month.
On Dec. 2, members of the Lloydminster RCMP Crime Reduction Unit executed a search warrant at a home as part of an investigation into a man allegedly making credible threats of violence toward identifiable groups.
Police say officers recovered multiple firearms along with additional evidence connected to the ongoing investigation.
As a result, 38-year-old John Charles Reid of Lloydminster has been charged with unauthorized possession of firearms, unsafe storage of firearms and wilful promotion of hatred.
Reid appeared before a justice of the peace and was released on conditions. He is scheduled to return to Lloydminster Provincial Court on Jan. 12.
“The investigation reflects our continued commitment to ensuring the safety of our community and responding decisively to threats of violence or hate,” said Sgt. Christopher Byford, acting operations NCO for the Lloydminster RCMP. “We take any form of hate-motivated communication or violence-related behaviour seriously.”
RCMP say the investigation remains ongoing.
