A man of no fixed address remains in custody after Metro Vancouver Transit Police arrested him and seized a loaded firearm this past weekend at Main Street–Science World SkyTrain Station.
Just after 2 p.m., on Sunday, July 6, Transit Police officers were checking fares within the fare paid zone at Main Street–Science World SkyTrain Station, when they asked a passenger to produce proof of payment for inspection. As a result, multiple outstanding warrants were discovered, as well as a loaded Glock 23 handgun, ammunition, and what were believed to be controlled substances, in his possession.
Michael James Smith, 42, remains in custody pending his next court appearance. He has been charged with numerous offences, including failing to comply with the conditions of his release order. He also faces multiple firearms offences including possession of a prohibited or restricted firearm, and carrying a concealed weapon.
“As police officers, we understand that routine everyday activities, like fare enforcement, can create an opportunity to remove and hold accountable anyone who poses a threat to the feeling of safety of the travelling public,” said Sgt. Dustin Szakacs.
