A Hamilton man is facing charges of unlawfully wearing a military uniform after appearances at local citizenship swearing-in ceremonies.
Police say that the investigation began in December 2014, when a suspicious man was seen attending oath ceremonies held by Citizenship and Immigration Canada.
A search warrant conducted on Friday led to the seizure of military uniforms and medals of service from conflicts such as the Vietnam War and the war in Afghanistan.
The 66-year-old is facing four charges of unlawful use of military uniforms and two charges of personating a peace officer.
