The Ontario Provincial Police, through the Provincial Weapons Enforcement Unit, investigated the homemade firearm and found that it was produced using 3D printing technology.

As a result of the investigation, police seized a loaded, personally manufactured firearm, an extended magazine, and an undisclosed amount of cash.

The 19-year-old from Toronto, Ont., is accused of committing a firearms and weapons-related offence and failing to comply with the release order.

The man is scheduled to appear before the court in Newmarket to answer the charges.
