ESTEVAN, Sask. — A man has been sentenced to three years in custody in connection with firearms-related offences nearly four years ago.
Alexander Li pleaded guilty Oct. 5 in Estevan Court of King's Bench to one count each of careless storage of a firearm and unlicensed possession of a restricted firearm with readily available ammunition. Li received a three-year sentence for the careless storage charge and a concurrent one-year sentence for the restricted firearm offence.
Five other charges were stayed.
Background
Li was charged in January 2023 after the Saskatchewan RCMP’s Moose Jaw Crime Reduction Team (CRT) executed two search warrants at residences in Estevan.
At the time, the RCMP said they located and seized seven restricted handguns, three semi-automatic firearms and three long-barrelled firearms. One handgun and two of the long-barrelled firearms were loaded.
At the time, Li was charged with 28 offences related to unsafe storage of a firearm, possession of a restricted weapon and unlicensed possession of a restricted firearm with readily available ammunition.
