Court date for man who brought bags with inert explosives to Victoria airport: RCMP
BY The Canadian Press, May 25, 2022 8:14 PM - REPORT AN ERRORPolice say the man who was carrying luggage with suspicious contents that led to the closure of Victoria International Airport has been released from custody with an upcoming court date, although details on any charges haven't been provided.
RCMP say members of their explosives disposal unit were called to examine items flagged by airport security yesterday and shut down the airport after determining two bags contained ``inert military surplus explosives.''
A statement from Corporal Andy Sanchez says the Mounties were called by a security employee who spotted what appeared to be ``incendiary devices.''
Sanchez says police are reminding travellers to confirm that items in their luggage are allowed, or to get permission to carry specific items before flying.
