A woman with identification in two names, one with a Brampton address, was arrested at the U.S. border trying to carry roughly 100 rounds of ammunition and three firearms into Canada.
A vehicle with Florida licence plates entered Canada at the Peace Bridge in Fort Erie around 2:30 a.m. Thursday when customs officers pulled it over for a secondary inspection, say Niagara Regional Police. A search of the vehicle revealed the ammunition and firearms.
The woman, 21, was arrested by Canadian border officers and turned over to Niagara police. She had identification listing a Florida address, as well as identification with another name listing a Brampton address.
Further investigation resulted in 13 firearms-related offences. She was held in custody pending a bail hearing.
Police will be looking into any possible affiliations to gangs or organized crime groups as well as immigration status.
A 0.45 cal. Smith and Wesson pistol, 0.357 Ruger revolver and a 0.44 Ruger revolver were seized by police from the woman’s car.
Charged is Patrice Jeremiah of Florida.
