Police in York Region have arrested six men and charged them with a combined total of 21 charges in connection with three separate drug and gun investigations.

According to authorities, the first investigation began on Aug. 1 after the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) intercepted a parcel from China at a mail processing centre in Mississauga.

“The parcel contained stun guns destined for an address in York Region,” police wrote in a press release issued on Friday.

The police services’ Guns, Gangs and Drug Enforcement Unit began an investigation and ultimately executed a search warrant on a resident in Newmarket on Aug. 27.

“As a result of the investigation, two firearms, eight stun guns, a quantity of ammunition, brass knuckles and a spring-loaded knife were seized,” officers added.
