The Canada Border Services Agency says a man from Sicamous, B.C., is facing firearms and drug trafficking charges after officers intercepted a package addressed to him earlier this year.
CBSA says in a news release that on April 26, border officers at Vancouver International Airport seized three prohibited devices in a package.
The agency says the addressee had a lifetime firearms prohibition.
It says border officers and the RCMP executed search warrants on the man’s vehicle and boat in June, seizing two firearms, a spring-loaded baton, a stun gun and “trafficking quantities of illegal drugs.”
