Discoveries of rifles, body armor, and ammunition in a modular home near the Coutts border blockade in Alberta were revealed by an RCMP officer during a trial on Friday.
Const. Daniel Sauve detailed the findings, including two rifles inside a soft carrying case in a closet, along with various ammunition cans and shotgun shells throughout the home.
During the trial, Sauve described the process of documenting and seizing evidence found by the searching members, leading to the arrests of Chris Carbert and Anthony Olienick on charges of conspiracy to commit murder of police officers.
The search also uncovered body armor, shotgun shells, and other incriminating items. The trial, arising from a protest against COVID-19 rules and vaccine mandates, is set to continue with more evidence expected.
As the trial progresses, questions arise about the evidence collected, including the discovery of weapons and ammunition in a travel trailer near the blockade. The defense challenges the authenticity of some photos presented as evidence.
The trial continues with additional charges against the accused, promising to reveal more details as it unfolds in the coming weeks.
