Wright has been charged with possession of a restricted firearm with ammunition, smuggling and failure to comply with the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
He is being held pending a bail hearing. Though no other charges have been laid, the B.C. RCMP’s federal serious and organized crime border integrity unit is still investigating, said Seyed. Unit head Supt. Bert Ferreira said the arrest of an armed individual before he could enter Canada is an example of his team’s “excellent work” keeping the country safe from “transnational criminal threats.”Article content
