Canadian border officials say a Florida resident is facing charges following what marked “the largest firearm seizures in the Southern Ontario Region in recent history.”
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) said the seizure took place after a vehicle was “referred for secondary examination” at the entrance to the Blue Water Bridge in Port Edward, Ont., on Nov. 1.
CBSA said officers discovered “56 undeclared prohibited firearms, 13 over-capacity magazines, 43 ten-round pistol magazines and 100 rounds of ammunition, located in boxes in the trunk of the car.”
On Friday, border officials announced that a 48-year-old Florida resident had been arrested and charged with nine offences, including possessing a firearm knowing that the serial number on it has been altered, defaced or removed.
The accused is scheduled to appear in court on Nov. 24.
The CBSA says the investigation is ongoing.
