Stolen-car, firearm suspect back in custody
Alexander James Broome, 23, of Oromocto, was released Thursday, but RCMP arrested him on weekend on new charges of possession of stolen vehicle, violation of release conditions
An Oromocto man arrested last week on stolen-car and firearm charges but sprung on conditions is back in custody, facing new charges and an allegation he violated his release conditions.
Alexander James Broome, 23, of Deer Park in Oromocto; and Stuart Raymond McCann, 42, of Moccasin Lane on the Welamukotuk (Oromocto) First Nation, were arrested by Fredericton police officers Nov. 26 and accused of various offences.
Both were charged with Nov. 26 counts of possession of a stolen 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe belonging to Stephanie Dufour, possession of a prohibited and altered firearm without a licence, occupation of a vehicle while knowing that prohibited firearm was contained therein, improper storage of the firearm, possession of break-in instruments (bolt cutters, a grinder and a hammer), and breaches of separate probation orders.
The two men were remanded pending bail hearings.
