It’s been a busy month at border crossings in Windsor.

Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) said there were seven incidents at the Ambassador Bridge, Windsor-Detroit Tunnel, and Walpole Island Ferry between Dec. 7 and Dec. 15.

According to CBSA, two firearms were seized, along with six magazines, 21 rounds of ammunition, a firearm silencer, two canisters of pepper spray, and a switchblade.

Officers also seized 21 rounds of illegal ammunition.

CBSA said penalties ranged from $500 to $1,500, and all seizures except for one were from U.S. residents.

One seizure was from a Canadian resident, and that investigation continues.
