A weapons investigation that began with a traffic stop in Waterloo over the weekend has led to the seizure of more than 200 firearms, police say.
Waterloo Regional Police released a photo of guns seized as part of a weapons investigation over the weekend.
In a news release, Waterloo Regional Police said officers stopped a vehicle for a traffic violation in the area of Weber Street North and Bridgeport Road East at around 7:20 p.m. on Friday. Police said during the traffic stop, officers discovered firearms and ammunition in the vehicle and the 39-year-old driver was arrested. Police noted that 17 guns were seized from the vehicle and the driver, a resident of Guelph, was charged with careless use of a firearm and transporting a firearm or restricted weapon.
Further investigation led officers to a home in Guelph, where a search warrant was executed, police said.

Investigators said they also seized a large quantity of ammunition, magazines, and firearm parts.
