A member of the Bacchus Motorcycle Club in New Brunswick is facing two weapons charges after police in P.E.I. arrested him for allegedly carrying a cane with a sword hidden inside it.
The RCMP reported that on March 25, members of the organized crime task force arrested a 59-year-old man for possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and carrying a concealed weapon.
That arrest stemmed from surveillance on Jan. 21 during an Atlantic Confederation of Clubs and Independents meeting Charlottetown.
The police allegedly saw the man carrying a cane with a sword hidden inside it to the meeting.
He was released and will appear in provincial court in Charlottetown in May.
The RCMP also reported that several people from motorcycle clubs who attended the meeting were seen wearing fixed-blade knives on their belts.
Police warn that if they observe those activities in the future at those types of events in P.E.I. it could lead to arrests for possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.
The organized crime task force consists of police officers from the RCMP and municipal forces in Charlottetown, Summerside and Kensington.
