Three people, including one woman, have been charged following a British Columbia anti-gang investigation into the alleged manufacture of illegal firearms using a 3D printer and drug trafficking in Surrey.
According to the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of British Columbia (CFSEU-BC), the charges follow an investigation stemming from the execution of a search warrant at a Surrey residence in September 2025. Media Relations Officer Sgt. Sarbjit Kaur Sangha said investigators found a 3D printer actively producing a firearm when officers entered the home.
Police said officers seized a 3D-printed Glock-style handgun, firearm barrels, a large quantity of ammunition, a GPS tracker, methamphetamine, MDMA and a chemical commonly used to process illicit drugs.
The BC Prosecution Service approved charges on July 6 against Scott William, Bryce Scott Telford and Candice Ashley Somerville. All three are charged with unauthorized possession of firearms. Telford and Somerville also face additional charges, including manufacturing prohibited firearms, possessing digital data used to produce firearms with a 3D printer, firearms trafficking and drug trafficking.
According to CFSEU-BC, two of the accused remain in custody, while a warrant has been issued for the arrest of Somerville. The allegations have not been proven in court.
