A Chase-area business is cooperating with police after the RCMP found they were unknowingly selling prohibited weapons. When officers visited the business on April 17, they found cat’s eyes self-defence keychains being sold.
“These items are similar in design to brass knuckles, a device with a band of metal or hard material with finger holes designed to fit over the fingers of the hand,” a release from the Sicamous RCMP reads.
The business cooperated with removing the items from sale so no charges will be filed.
Chase RCMP recommend anyone who purchased these items turn them into the police or have them destroyed as possessing devices similar to brass knuckles is illegal in Canada.
