Charges are expected following an illegal firearms manufacturing investigation in New Brunswick.

Mounties said they received information last week regarding the illegal manufacturing of 3D-printed firearms.

That led officers to execute a search warrant at a home on Pleasant Street in Hillsborough last Thursday.

Police said they seized 3D-printed firearms, parts and components, along with a 3D printer and electronics.

A 27-year-old man was arrested at the scene and later released on conditions.

He is scheduled to appear in Moncton provincial court on Nov. 17.
