Trying to “Pull a Fast One” at Canada’s Border Continues to End Badly for Travellers
CALGARY: With the popularity of the Border Security reality TV series in several countries, it might be expected that travellers would learn that deception isn’t worth the effort. However, many people are slow learners.
Canada Border Service Agency (CBSA) officers made quite the haul of undeclared firearms at Alberta ports of entry in June.
A total of 17-weapons were seized in 11 separate incidents at Coutts, Carway and Chief Mountain, making it the biggest seizure in southern Alberta in a single month since July of 2014.
Three of the individuals, two men from Colorado and another from New Mexico, will be in Lethbridge court next Wednesday, July 20th, to answer a string of charges related to trying to cross into Canada with undeclared weapons.
