Oak Bay Police would like to remind everybody that any imitation firearm that looks real will be assumed to be genuine until determined otherwise. Situations like these have the potential to end badly. Keep imitation firearms at home, ensure any colored pieces on the imitation does not get painted black in an effort to make them look real, and talk to your children about the risks of being in public with an imitation or replica firearm. Police officers will treat any firearm call as if it were real!
