Manitoba RCMP say a criminal harassment investigation has led to a man facing firearms charges.
Mounties say the charges stem from an investigation that started after they responded to a complaint around 3 p.m. on Oct. 8 in the RM of Srpindfield.
Police say a 53-year-old woman reported that her power had been purposely disconnected at her home, while also noting to police that this was not the first time this had happened.
Through an investigation, Mounties were able to identify a 54-year-old man, who was believed to have been responsible.
The investigation also led police to believe that several of the man’s firearms were not accounted for, and on Oct. 14, RCMP took Bradley Watchorn into custody.
At the time, Watchorn was charged with criminal harassment and unsafe storage of a firearm before being released on conditions.
On Dec. 10, RCMP executed a search warrant at a home in the RM of Alexander, where they took Watchorn into custody for a second time.
During the search of the home, police were able to find and seize 16 rifles, three restricted firearms, and ammunition.
Since, Watchorn has been charged with two counts of unsafe storage of a firearm and two counts of failing to comply with an undertaking.
An investigation is ongoing.
