Ontario Provincial Police say they seized a massive cache of weapons — including 67 firearms, explosives and thousands of rounds of ammunition — at a Bancroft, Ont., home this week.
The arsenal was found in two hidden compartments built into the walls of the house, located in the heart of cottage country, police said Tuesday.
"What this investigation tells us is that copious amounts of firearms and ammunition were collected, stored, and sometimes even created well away from big city Ontario," Det. Insp. Patti Dobbin told a news conference Tuesday morning.
OPP and Durham Regional Police Service executed a search warrant on Spooks Bay Lane in Bancroft, Ont., on the morning of March 7. There, they found assault rifles, a Taser, crossbows, a fully-automatic shotgun, and thousands of rounds of ammunition, as well as land mines, grenades and detonator cords, police said.
David Alan Kift, 55, of Bancroft, has been charged with multiple counts of weapons-related offences, including illegal possession, manufacturing prohibited and restricted firearms, and illegal possession of ammunition and explosives, and breach of parole conditions. He has been remanded into custody.
Marion Kift, a 53-year-old woman, also of Bancroft, has been charged with multiple counts of similar offences, police said. She appeared in court on Monday, and has been released with conditions after a bail hearing.
Typically, illegal weapons and ammunition are sourced elsewhere, such as the United States in trade for drugs in cash in connection with other criminal activities, said Dobbin. But in this case, these illegal activities were taking place "right in our own backyard."
"We take our families to these places with shared expectations of these remote cottage country surroundings, that are even more secure from major amounts of firearms, and even devices designed for use in times of war," she said.
