I'm very glad to hear this, the remaining perp probably won't be at large for very long. Thumbs up CPS! Now to see what the courts do....
I'm curious what happens to the recovered firearms. Do the police retain and destroy them or does CSC's insurance company assume ownership and maybe sell them back to CSC considering they've probably already paid out on them? I'm curious, as one would assume that firearms (especially handguns) get treated a bit differently than other more mundane evidence and recovered property.

glad they got on this quick.
30 handguns still missing though. uggh.
not a big fan of businesses storing restricteds in glass cases, legal or not.
probably wouldn't impress the CFO if the average homeowner stored their restricteds in glass cases :/

This. ^^^^^^^^
they will probably be locked up forever as evidence...or maybe they destroy them.
LOL!
None of them look like addicts, more like dealers... And Cole Trahan even admitted on his Facebook page that he did time for trafficing.
And then there's the guy I linked, who is definately into something illegal (drugs, guns, etc.).
He's probably under surveillance already...
I never understood what goes though the mind of somebody who thinks its a good idea to go and steal somebody else's guns. They would have to either have to be high, have balls of titanium, or be insane. Personally, I think you'd have to be a nutbar. These guys don't seem very bright though.
I've recently done business with CSC, and can say positively that they were a pleasure to deal with. I would definitely buy from them again. This ordeal will only make them better.

This is why you put bars on all windows and maybe install protective drop doors to lock up firearms behind the counter.
Wow... Just, wow...
You really need to go back to the 1st post, bud. Start reading from there.

* Calgary Shooting Center had ample security measures in place during the theft, including bars on the windows...
seems to be quite common on this site for people to reply to the first post, or first sentence of the first post, without reading the rest of the thread first.
It looks like it is time to update this story. The individuals responsible were arrested very quickly and trial dates had been set at least three times over the previous years, however today we were told:
I just wanted to touch base after hearing from the Crown Prosecutor on the B&E / Firearms Trafficking matters.
Since the Supreme Court made the ruling in the 2016 R v Jordan case (ruling attached if you are interested), Scott and I have been very concerned that defence for Rodrigues, Trahan and Moore may use the ruling to their advantage. Unsurprisingly we recently found out from Crown Ryan Jenkins that they had.
We fully expected that all charges against the accused were going to be dropped due to the time that it took for the matters to go to trial. Sadly, this is happening in many cases, including homicides.
I was somewhat relieved to hear that Trahan and Rodrigues were pleading guilty to committing the B&E and also possession of a restricted firearms after the fact – sentenced to 3 years jail term. The crown withdrew the firearms trafficking charges to secure that deal. In the matter of Moore, she plead guilty to possession of a restricted handgun. All of them have been deemed to have ‘time already served’ as far as jail time.
The most frustrating part of this situation was that we were ready to go ahead with the trial in 2015 and Moore de-railed it by firing her lawyer on the first day. In recent discussion with the crown and with the benefit of hindsight, we should have just continued on with the trial for Rodrigues and Trahan (although their defence lawyers would have protested). Moore played the system well and ultimately aided her co-accused immensely.
After spending a huge amount of time and effort on the investigation, I am really disappointed at the result. The system has once again failed the victims, you guys, and has not delivered satisfactory justice. I can only apologize to you for that.
As judicial proceedings are concluded, I am awaiting for the handgun exhibits to be transferred from court into the possession of the CPS. Once I have them all, I will make arrangements for them to be released back to you, likely early in the New Year.
I’ll try and catch up with you at the store answer any questions you may have.
So it appears that a couple of B&E, firearm traffickers received a 3 years sentence and served just over 1 year. Next time the government complains about the "gun problem", feel free to remind them that criminals will use and steal guns because the justice system treats it like a very minor issue.
