Two men from Mississauga are facing multiple firearms and drug-related charges.
Peel Regional Police officers say they conducted a search warrant on Dec. 29 at a home in the area of Lakeshore and Hydro Roads in Mississauga.
Investigators say they seized “two loaded firearms, one equipped with an extended magazine, and an auto sear” as a result. An auto sear, police explain, can convert a semi-automatic firearm into one that can automatically fire with a “single, continuous pull of the trigger.”
Investigators say they also seized undisclosed amounts of drugs and money.
Rain Dunham, 25, and Jayden Hurley, 24, are facing multiple charges, including two counts each for possession of a prohibited device and possession for the purpose of trafficking. The charges have not been tested in court.
Police say Hurley is currently on bail release for several “violent” offences, including aggravated assault.
