A 47-year-old man and a 60-year-old man, both from Moncton, N.B., have been arrested in connection with an investigation into firearm offences in the Moncton region.
On March 1, 2026, at approximately 2:30 p.m., members of the Codiac Regional RCMP responded to a report of a structure fire at a residence on Hows Crescent in Moncton. Prior to arrival at the scene, police were notified that the Moncton Fire Department had confirmed the occupants of the home had exited safely, but that there was an unsecured firearm located in the home.
When police arrived, they located a handgun that was equipped with a 3D printed lower receiver. Police also observed several rifles, additional 3D printed parts for handguns and rifles, and magazines with ammunition.
A 47-year-old man and a 60-year-old man were arrested at the scene, and the scene was held pending a search warrant.
On March 2, the Codiac Crime Reduction Unit and the Codiac Integrated Enforcement Unit executed a search warrant at the residence in connection with the investigation. During the search, police seized multiple 3D printed firearm components compatible with AR-15’s, .223 platforms and pistols, two rifles, a revolver, a replica firearm, an airsoft rifle, multiple flare guns, a crossbow, several extended magazines and various ammunition, a 3D printer, a dozen reels of filament, a laptop, and more.
The 60-year-old man was later released from custody, while the 47-year-old man was also released and is scheduled to appear in Moncton Provincial Court on June 30.
The investigation is ongoing.
