Border closed after explosive, guns found
By AP AND CP

VANCOUVER -- Canadian border agents found four handguns and what police called an improvised explosive device last night in a car trying to enter Canada at the Peace Arch border crossing.

Officers closed the crossing and evacuated six nearby houses. The vehicle had crossed into Canada about 9:30 p.m. Vancouver time.

The RCMP said the car contained a lone male driver who was displaying erratic behaviour. The firearms were found in an initial inspection of the car, while the device was found in the engine compartment.
