"It came out of a gun shop in Chicago and it was all part of a shipment of 237. We had one and then, poof, we had another one."*
From that trace was born Project Blackhawk, which ended Thursday with the arrests of 36 people -- the key members of the alleged ring -- facing a total of 443 charges, and the seizure of 83 firearms over the two-year investigation. The number of seized firearms was more than police initially reported.
Since the initial two guns appeared, others belonging to Yildiz began appearing on GTA streets, including four taken from members of the Point Blank Soldiers, a Regent Park based gang.
Another handgun from the Chicago collection was recovered during the recent Project Kryptic raids, which targeted a Crips gang in North York.
Farmers, hunters...
And Olympic target shooters... totally off the hook... AGAIN.
