Calgary man charged with fraud for offering fake firearms training out of his home

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS, Sep 14, 2022 3:57 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

A Calgary man has been charged after police allege he was running a fake firearms training course out of his home.

Calgary Police say in a news release that Bradley Keith Bell offered private training between January and June, while posing as an ex-military veteran.

Victims told police they thought they were registering to complete the course with a certified instructor.

They allege Bell provided safety booklets and gave firearms handling instruction, before being asked to complete a Canadian firearms safety exam as the final step.

Police say the victims provided payment, personal information and photographs but were never officially certified because Bell isn't an instructor.

A search warrant on his northwest Calgary home in late August found ammunition, documentation, photographs and personal information belonging to the victims.
