RCMP Cpl. Megan Evans testifies the discovery prompted them to call in the explosive device unit to make sure there was no danger

A man accused of conspiring to kill Mounties at the border blockade at Coutts, Alta., had 40,000 rounds of ammunition on his property along with a shotgun, a rifle and two pipe bombs, court heard Friday.

The jury was shown a picture of a wooden box from the shop area that appeared to hold two black pipe bombs with wires coming out of one end.“We didn’t know the status of them, and we called the explosive device unit out of Edmonton in order to come and ensure that these were safe,” Evans told the jury.

Olienick and Chris Carbert are on trial in Lethbridge, Alta., for their actions at the Coutts blockade, which tied up traffic for two weeks at the busy Canada-U.S. border crossing to protest COVID-19 restrictions and vaccine mandates.
