Checks find illegal gel blaster firearms
This week two men have been reported for being in possession of an unregistered firearm after gel blaster firearms were found at their property.
A Waterloo Corner man was reported with seven counts of both possessing an unregistered firearm and possessing firearms without a licence. This comes after a search of his Waterloo Corner home in October 2020 where seven gel blaster firearms (pictured below) were located.
Chief Inspector Astrid Gustavson said at the time gel blaster firearms were regulated imitation firearms but it was still within the amnesty period, allowing people time to apply for a firearms license and get their firearms registered.
