Investigators find drugs, weapons at victim’s homes<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThere’s absolutely no danger to his life,\u201d Const. Franco di Genova reassured The Suburban,<\/i> after a Laval West resident was brutally beaten during an invasion, armed robbery and armed assault at his home, Jan. 14.<\/p>\n

\u201cFour young black males wearing ski masks entered the victim’s home at 3150 St. Antoine, around 7 p.m.,\u201d he reported. \u201cThe suspects had a knife and something that resembled a handgun. Once inside, they tied up the father, 50, and his two sons, 17 and 19 years of age.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe father was struck on the head with some sort of metal bar, which lightly fractured his skull and left cuts on his face and head,\u201d Const. di Genova continued. \u201cDoctors want to operate to relieve the part of the skull pressing lightly against his brain, but they say that it is nothing that they can’t handle.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that one of the two sons was also taken to hospital for shock and later released.<\/p>\n

\u201cInvestigators obtained a warrant to search the home in Laval, where they found a very small quantity of crack and cocaine as well as a hunting rifle which they seized, because the owner did not have a permit for it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey noted that he also rented a chalet in the Lachute area, so they obtained a second warrant to search that location as well.\u201d There, police found an M4 carbine, an automatic rifle similar to but shorter than the M16 used by the United States Army, and accompanying magazines and ammunition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n\u201cDetectives then went to his door to talk to him. They want to know what that weapon was doing there,\u201d explained Const. di Genova. \u201cWas it for his personal use? For someone else? Was this a temporary pit stop for the rifle to be shipped out to some organized crime group?\u201d <\/p>\n

He said that the father was still cooperating with police, adding that Laval detectives know him very well, \u201cthough he has been quiet for the past seven years.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nPolice found an M4 carbine, Jan. 15, when they searched a cottage rented by a Laval home invasion victim. In the aftermath, many news outlets misidentified the automatic rifle\u2014a shorter version of the U.S. Army M16\u2014describing it as a machine gun.<\/b><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
