A teen is facing several charges after he was found carrying a loaded, 3D-printed handgun at a Winnipeg mall on the weekend, police say.
Kildonan Place security guards asked police officers, who were stationed at the mall as part of the province’s retail theft initiative, to help them remove from the building several people who were causing a disturbance on Saturday afternoon, according to a news release.
Officers searched one of them after seeing “numerous irregular shapes” in his clothing, and found a loaded, 3D-printed 9mm Glock-style handgun, police say.
The boy, 15, was arrested and now faces charges that include possessing a loaded, prohibited or restricted firearm, carrying a concealed weapon or ammunition, and failing to comply with the conditions of an undertaking, police say.
He was detained in custody.
