Lloydminster RCMP lay charges after firearm located in B.C.

Lloydminster, AB – Lloydminster General Investigation Section (GIS), in partnership with the National Weapons Enforcement Support Team (NWEST), started an investigation in June 2023 after a loaded 22. calibre revolver was located during a search warrant in Kitimat, B.C. Kitimat RCMP conducted queries on the firearm, which showed the registered owner to be a resident of Lloydminster.

On October 25, 2023, Lloydminster GIS executed a search warrant at a residence on 56 Avenue. During the search, RCMP located numerous firearms and ammunition that were not secured and stored safely. 

As a result of the investigation, Felicia Becker, 38, a resident of Lloydminster, was charged with: 

• Failing to report lost or stolen firearm
• Unsafe storage of firearms 

Becker was released from custody with the next court date set for January 22, 2024, at the Alberta Court of Justice in Lloydminster. 

“RCMP reminds the public that all firearms must be safely secured or disabled when in a residence or vehicle,” says Cpl. Christopher Byford of Lloydminster RCMP GIS.
