A Surrey father and son duo, previously charged in an attempted murder plot, now face additional firearms charges after police discovered a 3D printer actively manufacturing a firearm during a search warrant execution last September.
Details of the Search Warrant
The Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of B.C. executed a search warrant on a Surrey property in September 2025, according to Sgt. Sarbjit K. Sangha. During the raid, officers found 3D-printed firearm parts, rail kits, ammunition, firearm barrels, a GPS tracker, a loaded 3D-printed firearm, as well as methamphetamine, MDMA, and a cutting agent. Notably, a 3D printer was actively printing a firearm at the time of the search.
Charges Filed
Scott William Telford and his son Bryce Scott Telford, along with Candice Ashley Somerville, are charged with possession of a firearm without the required licence or registration. The younger Telford and Somerville also face charges of unauthorized manufacturing of a firearm, possession of computer data capable of being used to 3D print firearms, illegal possession of a firearm for the purpose of transferring it, possession of MDMA for the purposes of trafficking, and possession of methamphetamine for the purposes of trafficking. Bryce Scott Telford is additionally charged with possessing a firearm while prohibited from doing so.
Link to Attempted Murder Plot
The September 2025 search was conducted after police found information in a separate investigation linking the Telfords to an attempted murder plot in Kamloops. During the investigation into the 2022 escape of convicted Wolfpack gang killer Rabih Alkhalil from a Port Coquitlam jail, police uncovered details of a 2024 murder plot targeting convicted drug trafficker Justin Hunt. That discovery resulted in charges of conspiracy to commit murder against Ryan Van Gool of Harrison Hot Springs and two others, who turned out to be the Telfords.
Current Status
The Telfords remain in custody, while an arrest warrant has been issued for Somerville. Multiple people were arrested at the time of the raid but were later released pending additional investigation.
