U.S. man charged after allegedly trying to smuggle firearms at border crossing
ABBOTSFORD, B.C. – An American man accused of attempting to smuggle five firearms across the border into B.C. is facing charges.
The Canada Border Services Agency says a traveller declared a rifle at the crossing in Abbotsford, B.C., as he and a passenger were en route to Alaska.
He was referred for a secondary examination when officers found five undeclared firearms in his cargo trailer.
Two revolvers, two rifles and a 12-gauge shotgun were seized.
Steve Williams has been charged with one count of smuggling and one count of possessing restricted firearms without a licence.
He is scheduled to appear in court in Surrey on March 6.
