Besides the pair of MACs, Edmonton’s Guns and Gangs unit also recovered a Beretta handgun equipped with a natty stainless steel suppressor and a modified Suomi submachine gun.

Arrested were Jacob Balan, 37, and Amy Brogden, 29, charged with 62 criminal offenses, primarily weapons violations. Authorities were tipped off to the couple as part of an eight-month investigation into weapons trafficking and it is believed that as many as six of the MAC-11s may have been made with the others unaccounted
