CBSA Probe Spurs Charges for Banned Weapons, Files
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) plays a key role in protecting Canadians and building the country’s economic prosperity by ensuring the safe and effective management of our borders.
The CBSA investigation that led to these charges began in August 2023 following the attempted importation of a prohibited device by mail at the International Mail Processing Centre in Vancouver. During a search at the accused’s home on February 14, 2024, CBSA investigators found several files related to manufacturing weapons using a 3D printer.
A file was submitted to the Public Prosecution Service of Canada and charges were laid at the Shawinigan courthouse on March 12, 2025. These charges will have to be validated by the court.
