A Toronto police officer has been charged with multiple firearm offences after an investigation by the Canada Border Services Agency. <\/p>\n

On July 23, CBSA officers at a facility in Mississauga intercepted a package from the United States that contained two complete firearm suppressors. Investigators with the CBSA determined a 47-year-old Brampton man was the suspected recipient of the package. <\/p>\n

The CBSA executed a search warrant at the man’s Brampton home on Sept. 24 and seized three non-restricted firearms, a prohibited suppressor, digital devices and ammunition, the agency said in a news release Thursday. <\/p>\n

The man is now facing four charges, including one count of smuggling prohibited devices and one count of importing prohibited devices while knowing it was unauthorized. <\/p>\n

Toronto police spokesperson Nadine Ramadan confirmed to CBC News that the man is a constable that has worked with the service for seven years. <\/p>\n

“Our understanding is that the charges laid by the CBSA are unrelated to his duties as a Toronto Police officer,” she said. <\/p>\n

He has been suspended with pay and notified that the police chief intends to suspend him without pay after the mandated 60-day period under the Community Safety and Policing Act, Ramadan said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Listen to this article Estimated 2 minutes The audio version of this article is generated by AI-based technology.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":927915,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194291],"tags":[49,48,3302],"class_list":["post-927914","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-toronto","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-toronto"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/927914","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=927914"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/927914\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/927915"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=927914"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=927914"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=927914"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
