Police seize pellet rifles on Mill St. Continued from Page 1 public safety and the immediate area was blockaded while members of the Tactical and Rescue Unit (TRU) were called in to establish a “safe perimeter” and then conduct a building search. About 30 police personnel were involved in the activity including 12 TRU members, a doghandler, seven members of 11 Division (Halton Hills), two from 12 Division (Milton) and five repre- sentatives of District 1, Criminal Investigation Bureau (CIB). Before the building was searched, its owner came forw: about 6:20 p.m. to tell police that he had been on the roof earlier with a pellet gun. He told investigators that he had two pellet rifles, but nei- ther was loaded. The former post office has been converted into an apartment build- ing. The owner said that he has had a problem with pigeons and he was planning to shoot them with the pellet rifle. However, the pigeons left the roof when he arrived and there was no need to load the rifle. The apartment owner told police that he was concerned for the safety of people walking near the buildin; because the birds were defecating on the street. He had tried to poison the pigeons but the Town of Halton Hills had objected because town officials did not want to see dead pigeons lying on the street. The police seized both pellet guns. The apartment owner autho- tized disposal of his gun, but the other gun is owned by a friend and will be returned. No charges were laid, but the owner was cautioned about walking the rooftop with anything resembling a rifle, police said. At no time during the incident were any shots fired, police added. Witnesses also confirmed that they never saw the man aim or load the gun while on the roof. HALTON HILLS THIS WEEK 873-2254
