Abbotsford Police were called to the airport there about 3:30 p.m. Sunday after getting called about a man with a possible firearm.
Const. Ian MacDonald said in a news release that “the man was observed with a rifle bag when he interacted with airport staff and management.”
Police found the 28-year-old man in an airport washroom, MacDonald said.
“He was taken into custody without incident. Located in his possession was a loaded SKS rifle and ammunition,” MacDonald said. “The investigation into this incident is continuing. Updates will be provided.”
He thanked airport staff, patrons and management for their patience and cooperation during our response to the incident.
We still don’t know if the man had a licence or why he was there in the first place. If I get more details, I’ll post them.
