A report of a man with a rifle in the parking lot of the Langley Event Centre turned out to be a pellet gun in the hands of an 18-year-old, Langley RCMP said.
The call came in around 7 a.m. on May 18 when someone saw the teen pointing what appeared to be a rifle with a telescopic sight into some bushes.
Langley RCMP, the elite Emergency Response Team (ERT) and Police Dog Services arrived and arrested the teen and seized the pellet gun and ammunition from a vehicle.
Police are requesting a weapons prohibition order for the 18 year old Langley resident.
In the Township of Langley, any discharge of a firearm is banned except for destruction of domestic livestock or slaughterhouse operations, protection of animals and crops, and shooting clubs.
