A 34-year-old man is facing charges after a package containing three prohibited weapons and a quantity of ammunition was seized by border agents at a mail processing center.

The Canada Border Services Agency says officers working at the International Mail Processing Center in Mississauga intercepted the package in August of this year.

The CBSA says the package was destined for an address in Toronto and contained three prohibited semi-automatic handguns, five cartridge magazines and twelve rounds of ammunition.

A search warrant was then executed at the Toronto address with the assistance of the Toronto Police Service’s emergency task force, the CBSA says.

A suspect, identified as Nicholas Douglas, a 34-year-old Toronto resident, was arrested and charged with eight offenses, including three counts of smuggling a prohibited device.

“The CBSA’s Ontario Firearms Smuggling Team is committed to detecting, investigating and disrupting organized crime. This investigation, arrest and charges demonstrate our strong role and partnerships in finding and seizing prohibited firearms,” said Abeid Morgan of the Canada Border Services Agency in a press release issued Wednesday.
