CHASE — Chase RCMP are calling it an honest mistake.

On April 17, Mounties in the village attended a business that was unknowingly selling prohibited weapons.

The items in question were Cat’s Eyes self-defense key chains.

“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, and are a prohibited weapon in Canada,” says Cpl. Scott Linklater. “As the business was cooperative, removing the items from sale, no charges will be pursued in this matter.”
