“Mr. Bishop was arrested and the CBSA’s Pacific Region Criminal Investigations Section began an investigation.” Court documents show that Bishop pled guilty in Penticton, with one count of unauthorized possession of a prohibited weapon or a restricted weapon being stayed.The CBSA did not release what type of over-capacity gun magazines they seized.
“CBSA officers at the Osoyoos border crossing and our criminal investigators work hard to keep our communities safe,” said CBSA Okanagan and Kootenay district director Derek Watson. “Over-capacity gun magazines are now off the streets, and the accused has been held accountable.”The CBSA noted that firearms that aren’t properly declared may be seized, along with the vehicle used to carry them.
“The Agency may also launch criminal proceedings against travellers who violate border laws,” said the CBSA. “A court conviction can result in fines, jail time, and impact a foreign national’s ability to return to Canada in the future.”Viewed
