DYNAMIC ENTRY ON OBSESSIVE COLLECTOR OF RCMP GEAR

At 6:30 a.m. on May 7, 2020, Thwing was in bed, listening to the radio, about to start his day.

"All I heard was one — pardon the expression — one hell of a bang, and smashing glass and things. And my house alarm."

SWAT team members in commando gear bashed down his side door and rushed into his house and his bedroom, rifles drawn. His home security camera captured seven officers, though Thwing says he remembers closer to a dozen.
