The Mounties did not provide the man’s name or details of any charges.

They say members of their explosives disposal unit were called to examine items flagged during typical security scanning for departures and determined that two bags contained “inert military surplus explosives.”

A statement released Wednesday by Cpl. Andres Sanchez says the RCMP were called when an airport security employee became concerned upon finding the first bag with two items that appeared to be “incendiary devices.” It says officers from the Sidney and North Saanich detachments went to the airport and took the man who claimed responsibility for the bag into custody, while a portion of the airport was cordoned off.Advertisement 3The departures’ wing was closed out of an abundance of caution, the RCMP statement says, before the airport reopened later Tuesday evening.

Sanchez says police are reminding travellers to confirm that items in their luggage are permitted on planes, or to get permission for certain items before flying.Our in-depth journalism is possible thanks to the support of our subscribers.
