An unlicensed mechanic allegedly pulled out a firearm during a disagreement with a customer last week, Brooks RCMP says.

The victim said he took his vehicle to the mechanic for repairs, police said in a statement Tuesday.

When the work was taking longer than originally quoted, the victim went to the shop last Friday to ask about the repair status and payment.

Police arrested the mechanic and found a black airsoft handgun and .22LR ammunition at the property.
