OTTAWA Public Safety Minister Bill Blair has suspended the sale of decommissioned RCMP vehicles, two days after a man in Nova Scotia was arrested for allegedly impersonating an officer while driving a fake police car.
The suspect’s 2013 Ford Taurus was a decommissioned police car and was allegedly altered to look like an unmarked police vehicle.
The car was similar to the replica RCMP cruiser used by a gunman who killed 22 people in Nova Scotia during a 13-hour rampage on April 18-19.
