“I commend the dedication and professionalism of our officers at 21 Division. Through their investigative efforts and strong partnerships with our community, illegal firearms and ammunition were removed from our neighbourhoods. Every illegal firearm taken off our streets reduces the potential for violence and represents another step toward keeping our communities across Peel Region safe,” said Deputy Chief Mark Andrews, Peel Regional Police.
