LLOYDMINSTER – Alberta RCMP say one man has been charged with intentionally promoting hatred and other offenses after officers seized several guns and a swastika flag from a home.
The Mounties say the search of the home in Lloydminster, a city straddling the Alberta-Saskatchewan border, came after an investigation into threats of violence against “identifiable groups of people.”
An RCMP photo shows several long guns, a crossbow and ammunition seized, as well as a swastika flag and a Confederate flag with the words “The South Will Rise Again.”
The 38-year-old man also faces charges of unauthorized possession of a firearm and unsafe storage of a firearm.
He was released under conditions and is due to appear in court in January.
RCMP Sgt. Christopher Byford says officers take any threats of violence or hate seriously.
