The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) is committed to keeping our communities safe.
Today, the CBSA announced the conviction of Jody Stuart Bishop, a resident of Carbon, Alberta, for smuggling over-capacity gun magazines.
On December 28, 2022, Bishop was attempting to enter Canada at the Osoyoos port of entry, when he was referred for secondary examination. During their inspection, Border Services Officers discovered three prohibited over-capacity magazines. Mr. Bishop was arrested and the CBSA's Pacific Region Criminal Investigations Section began an investigation.
On October 5, 2023, Bishop pleaded guilty in Penticton Provincial Court to one count of smuggling under the Customs Act, Section 159(1). He was fined $7,500 and issued a two-year firearms prohibition under Section 110 of the Criminal Code.
