    Police say 10 warrants were executed, leading to the seizure of 1,000 fentanyl-laced pills, along with cash and numerous firearms.
     
    MacDonald says seized weapons range from a submachine-gun, semi-automatic rifles and pistols to revolvers, and a sawed-off shotgun, along with silencers, magazines and ammunition.
