Coquitlam RCMP is reminding the public of the risks of carrying, possessing and using imitation firearms such as BB guns, pellet guns, and airsoft.
Coquitlam RCMP Front-line officers attended the area of Lakeshore Drive and Foster Avenue in Coquitlam for a report of a group of youth displaying firearms in public on November 9, 2022 shortly after 12:30 p.m. Four young males wearing balaclavas and associated to a grey 2006 Acura were observed with, what appeared to be, a pistol and an assault-style rifle.
Police quickly located the group in a nearby alleyway.
Once the firearms were safety inspected by police, it was determined that they were BB guns. The imitation firearms were then surrendered to the police.
