3D-printed 'ghost guns' a growing concern for Saskatoon police
CTV
Saskatoon police have a new emerging threat to deal with when it comes to illegal firearms in the community.
Untraceable ghost guns with no specific origin have begun to show up more often across the country due to the increasing accessibility of 3D printing.
“Of course, this is a technology advancement in the last few years that didn't exist as a challenge for enforcement before,” Saskatoon Police Service Chief Troy Cooper said. “There's no control over who actually possesses them. So we can't have any control over safety as a result.”
The Saskatoon Police Service presented its first ever firearms report to the city's Board of Police Commissioners last Thursday.
The report showed a growing number of handguns being seized by police.
