Guelph police are cautioning the community about the danger of possessing replica firearms after a BB bun was seized Thursday.
Guelph Police Service officers were called to a group home in the city after staff reported a resident posting photos of himself holding a real-looking handgun. The residence and a vehicle belonging to the group home were searched and a black Baby Desert Eagle .177-calibre BB gun was seized.
Residents were educated on the seriousness of possessing or brandishing such weapons, which can be easily mistaken for real firearms. Ownership of the BB gun could not be established and it was seized for destruction.
