Police said Wednesday they arrested 45 people and seized 440 weapons in simultaneous raids across eight provinces, targeting manufacturers of 3D-printed or “ghost” guns, which are increasingly showing up at crime scenes in Canada.
Authorities held a news conference in Montreal to announce the results of Tuesday’s operation, dubbed Reproduction, led by the Quebec provincial police and involving about 20 other forces, including the RCMP and the Ontario Provincial Police.
