🔵 50 CHARGES LAID 🔵
Two people have been charged with more than 50 charges after a fraud investigation led to the seizure of 25 firearms last month.
📍 On Friday, Sept. 19, 2025, family members of an estate reported a fraud involving the sale of their deceased father’s estate property by an auction company located in Claresholm, Alta. The family reported that on Saturday, April 19, 2025, the estate entered into an agreement with Starling Auctions to legally sell a large collection of valuable firearms including restricted & rare items. The following Saturday, April 26, 2025, Starling Auctions hosted an online auction where some of the firearms were legally auction off to licensed buyers with a profit of more than $93,000 to be paid back to the estate. However, during the auction the estate noticed that some of the most valuable firearms were not included in the lot.
In the months that passed, the estate made several attempts to collect payment from Starling Auctions that went unsuccessful. In September, Starling Auctions issued a cheque to the estate that was later returned due to insufficient funds. The estate continued to inquire about the location of the firearms missing from the original auction & began to have concerns that the auction house retained them unlawfully.
📍 On Friday, Sept. 26, 2025, warrants were executed on 2 rural properties outside Claresholm. As a result, 25 firearms were recovered, 19 of which were identified, with an estimated total value of $19,000. Investigators also determined that while Starling Auctions held a valid business Possession & Acquisition Licence (PAL), the 2 individuals in possession of the firearms did not.
As a result, 2 people have been charged in relation to the fraud.
Jesse Ray STARLING, 46, of Willow Creek, Alta., has been charged with:
📌 25 counts of careless storage of a firearm
📌 22 counts of unauthorized possession of a firearm
📌 1 count of fraud over $5000
📌 Whitney Starling, 19, of Willow Creek, Alta., has been charged with 1 count each of careless storage of a firearm & unauthorized possession of a firearm.
They will next appear in court on Tuesday, Nov. 18, 2025.
The Calgary Police Service would like to thank the RCMP for their assistance with the investigation.
