Police Recover Stolen Truck, Trailer Carrying More Than 2,000 Guns

Police have recovered a stolen trailer that was carrying more than 2,000 guns in Canada's Peel region.

The trailer and a truck had been stolen in the Ontario city of Peterborough, police said Wednesday. "The trailer and its contents are being returned to Peterborough and Peterborough Police, along with the manufacturer, will be going through the items to determine if anything is still missing," a news release said.

The theft came amid heightened gun violence across the border in the U.S. and as police in several areas of Canada have been trying to control the Freedom Convoy protests against COVID-19 restrictions. However, the Peterborough police said Tuesday they had received no information that the theft of the firearms was connected to the trucker protests.

The police said they are still searching for suspects in the case but did not immediately provide more information on why the trailer, truck and guns may have been stolen.
