North Vancouver resident Trevor Glenn Beaton, 29, is facing seven charges — including identity theft — after allegedly purchasing a mail-order firearm under a false name. Police say Beaton used documents belonging to a different person to allegedly purchase the Glock 34 Gen 4 pistol from a seller in Armstrong, B.C., before having it shipped to an address in North Vancouver. On May 1, RCMP officers arrested Beaton with the assistance of a police negotiator. Peter DeVries, a media spokesperson for the North Vancouver RCMP, said police were alerted to the sale by Armstrong RCMP. Police say Beaton will appear in court on the charges June 10.
