Guns seized at border, man to appear in court on smuggling charge

Canada Border Services Agency officials at the Pigeon River border crossing have confiscated a number of replica firearms from a Canadian resident. 

The seizures happened on June 16, but the information was not released by the Canada Border Services until Thursday. 

Eight airsoft replica firearms and four replica magazines were discovered in the vehicle and seized. 

The driver, who failed to report the items, will appear in provincial court on Aug. 16 on charges related to smuggling prohibited weapons into Canada.
