North Bay suspect charged with threatening victim, weapons offences
A 55-year-old in North Bay has been charged with threatening to cause death or bodily harm in connection with an incident Oct. 15 in the city.
A 19-year-old has also been charged with weapons offences after police located a handgun and ammunition.
The case began Tuesday when North Bay police received a report about threats allegedly made by the 55-year-old suspect against a victim.
"On Oct. 16 … members of the North Bay Police Service, with the assistance of the Ontario Provincial Police tactical response unit, executed a search warrant at a residence belonging to the accused," North Bay police said in a news release Thursday.
"Searches by police resulted in the seizure of a handgun and accompanying ammunition."
Later in the day, the 19-year-old was arrested and charged with unauthorized possession of a weapon and knowledge of the unauthorized possession of a weapon.
The 55-year-old was charged with the same offences, as well as making threats and violating a release order.
