A suspect has been arrested in Vancouver after firearm suppressors and replica firearms were found at YVR’s mail centre.

According to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), two firearm suppressors and two replica firearms were intercepted at the Vancouver International Airport’s Air Cargo Operations and Mail Centre.

CBSA says they were seized in two related incidents between August 2023 and January 2024.

In late August, CBSA criminal investigators, with assistance from the Vancouver Police Department, executed search warrants on the suspect’s residence in Vancouver.

They seized a number of items including two firearms, two completed 3D printed firearms, two 3D printed lower receivers, 18 replica firearms, various other firearm parts and accessories and suspected drugs.

The investigation is ongoing.
