THE Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of British Columbia (CFSEU-BC) announced on Tuesday that an investigation conducted by its Uniform Gang Enforcement Team (UGET) has resulted in a three-year jail sentence for a Kamloops-area man.
On March 22, 2024, CFSEU-BC UGET officers initiated a traffic stop in Kamloops after observing an electric motorbike commit multiple traffic violations. The driver failed to stop for police and was arrested a short time later.
A subsequent search of the accused led to the seizure of illicit drugs, cash and the following:
• A Girsan semi-automatic pistol
• Six rounds of 9mm ammunition
• Pistol magazine and holster
The accused was identified as 48-year-old Christopher Fillingham of Valemount, B.C. Officers then determined he was subject to a court-ordered weapons prohibition at the time of this incident.
In October 2024, the BC Prosecution Service approved two charges against Fillingham: unauthorized possession of a loaded restricted firearm and possession of a restricted firearm while prohibited.
On November 10, 2025, Fillingham entered a guilty plea to unauthorized possession of a loaded restricted firearm. He was subsequently sentenced to three years in jail in the Supreme Court of B.C. in Kamloops. The court also imposed a lifetime firearms prohibition and a DNA order.
“UGET officers work tirelessly across the province to investigate individuals who pose a risk to public safety through violence, weapons, and illicit drug activity,” said Sgt. Sarbjit K. Sangha, Media Relations Officer, CFSEU-BC. “This sentence reflects the seriousness of the offence and the ongoing work underway to disrupt violent criminal behaviour in our communities.”
