Police say several prohibited firearms and ammunition were recovered in the investigation.
A 25-year-old from Cambridge faces four firearms charges along with failing to comply with a release order. Four Caledon residents aged 20, 21, 22, and 23 along with a 23-year-old from Brampton have each been charged with three weapons offences including possession of a loaded prohibited or restricted firearm.
