GRAND BANK, NL – An ongoing RCMP investigation has resulted in additional charges against Winston Baker, 39, of Grand Bank.

Police charged Baker with mischief, five counts of careless use of a firearm, tampering with a vehicle identification number, possession of property obtained by crime and breach of recognizance following the execution of a search warrant on a residence in Grand Bank on March 15.

At that time, police seized a number of stolen items, including firearms, swords and knives, and an ATV.

Baker was remanded into custody during a hearing at Grand Bank Provincial Court on March 20.
