"Certainly we know the border, the porous border serves as one of those areas that illegal firearms are brought in we saw the instance where one person sought to import a number of firearms but thankfully the check that happens at customs that was intercepted. We continue our efforts on our part to try to conduct operations along the border line and those porous areas with a view to deterring these types of activities. The Mobile Interdiction Team that is one unit that is particularly tasked with such a mandate and we continue to invest in intelligence and other surveillance operations for us to detect and intercept these unlicensed weapons."
