Transit Police in Metro Vancouver say a man has been charged with firearms offences after allegedly trying to sell a loaded shotgun along a SkyTrain route.

Transit and Surrey Police Service officers were on patrol between Gateway and Surrey Central SkyTrain stations in Surrey when they arrested the 37-year-old man of no fixed address on Tuesday, just after 5 p.m.

Police say the man was trying to sell a loaded 12-gauge sawed-off shotgun.

Police say the man will remain in custody until his next court appearance.

Sgt. Sergeant Dustin Szakacs says Transit Police work collaboratively with other agencies to ensure the safety of transit users.
