The Aesop on this one is "don't misdial."
Misdialed 911 call leads RCMP to home with 100 unsecured guns
Failure to secure a firearm is grounds for seizure of that firearm and arrest of the owner in Canada. (Keep them secured in gun safes, folks!)
Misdialed 911 call leads RCMP to home with 100 unsecured guns
Quote:"They did actually speak to the person on the phone at the time of the call and he said there was no emergency and that he was trying to dial 411," said Clarke.
Clarke said RCMP have to respond to all 911 calls, even hangups or misdials.
"When the police officers went to the individual's home, they felt that they needed to get inside the home to make sure there was no emergency," said Clarke. "With permission from the homeowner, they did enter the home."
Guns were found throughout the house, none of them secured, she said.
