Windsor man faces multiple weapons counts

Windsor police have arrested a man following that uncovered multiple weapons and ammunition.

The Drugs and Guns (DIGS) Unit began a probe of illegal weapons last month. During the investigation, a suspect, a home, and vehicles involved in the crime were identified.

Officers found the suspect outside a home on Lynngrove Court, off Forest Glade Drive, at around 1:15 p.m. Monday and arrested him without incident, said Constable Darius Goze, public information officer.

Search warrants were obtained for the home and the vehicles. Those were executed late Monday night. Three imitation firearms, a partially sawed-off shotgun, and various types and quantities of live ammunition were confiscated.

Lawrence Davis, 23, has been charged with ten counts of breach of probation, nine counts of failure to comply with a police order, two counts of possessing a firearm while prohibited, and one count each of possession of a firearm without a licence and possession of a dangerous weapon. These charges have not been proven in court.

The case is still being investigated. Anyone with information should call Windsor police at (519) 255-6700, ext. 4361, or ext. 4000 after-hours. Anonymous tips may be submitted to Crime Stoppers at (519) 258-TIPS (8477).
