After continued investigation, Maidstone RCMP were able to identify and charge the adult male who approached and spoke to a child at a playground in Sandy Beach Regional Park this August.

The male was on court-ordered peace bond conditions not to be at a playground.

During a search warrant of the residence, officers located and seized three loaded, unsecured firearms.

The man is charged with:

one count, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, Section 88(1), Criminal Code; and
one count, possession of a firearm knowing possession is unauthorized, Section 92(1), Criminal Code.

He appeared in court on Tuesday and was released on conditions that include:

Staying inside his approved residence 24 hours a day. This condition will be electronically monitored as per his conditions.
Not attend any area that children (below the age of 16) are typically present for the purposes of schooling or recreation.
Not possess any firearms.

His next court date is scheduled for late November.
