A seven-year veteran of the Toronto Police Service faces multiple charges after border agents intercepted prohibited suppressors.
A Toronto Police Service (TPS) constable has been charged with several firearm-related offences following an investigation by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), as reported by CityNews Toronto.
According to the CBSA, 47-year-old Nasser Gholami of Brampton was the intended recipient of a package from the United States that was intercepted at a Mississauga facility on July 23, 2026. The parcel allegedly contained two firearm suppressors.
Following a search warrant executed at Gholami's residence on September 24, 2026, CBSA officers reportedly seized ammunition, digital devices, three non-restricted firearms, and one prohibited suppressor attached to a weapon.
Gholami faces charges including: * Smuggling prohibited devices * Importing prohibited devices while knowing they were unauthorized * Possession of a prohibited device without a proper licence * Unsafe display of a non-restricted firearm
CityNews Toronto reports that Gholami has served seven years as a constable. A police spokesperson stated that Gholami is currently suspended with pay, though the Chief intends to move to a suspension without pay after the 60-day period required by the Community Safety and Policing Act. The TPS further noted that the charges are unrelated to Gholami's official duties.
Gholami is scheduled for a court appearance in Brampton on November 5, 2026.
