After a lengthy firearms trafficking investigation, police seized hundreds of rounds of ammunition including other weapons and have and charged a Mississauga man with several gun-related offences.

Police say in early May (2023) the alleged suspect attempted to sell a shotgun and ammunition to patrons of a restaurant in Mississauga who later reported the incident to the authorities.

Investigators quickly identified the suspect as Piotr (Peter) Mul and conducted a search warrant at properties of interest.

On Tuesday, (May. 23), 46-year-old Piotr Mul was arrested and held in custody pending a bail hearing. He has since been charged with the following six Criminal Code Offences including weapons trafficking,
unauthorized possession of ammunition, and breach of weapons prohibition order.

As a result of multiple warrants being executed, police say they seized a 12 gauge Remmington 870 Shotgun, crossbow, arrows and a large quantity of shotgun and rifle ammunition.

At the time of his arrest, Piotr was prohibited from possessing any weapons or ammunition following an assault charge from 2019.
