    • Former P.E.I. Mountie Charged After More Than 70 Guns Seized From His Home
    CHARLOTTETOWN — A former RCMP constable has been charged with 12 weapons offences after more than 70 firearms were seized from his Prince Edward Island home.
     
    Forty-three-year-old Jeffrey Rae Gillis is scheduled for an appearance in provincial court in Charlottetown on Monday.
     
    The Nova Scotia Serious Incident Response Team says in a news release it started investigating in February after Charlottetown police discovered firearms at Gillis's home in Charlottetown.
     
    The agency says police were responding to an alleged off-duty incident at Gillis's home when weapons were located.
     
    Ron MacDonald, director of the response team, released a report Thursday noting that charges against Gillis include unlawful storage of firearms, possession of firearms obtained by an offence, and unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition.
     
    Gillis is also charged with five counts of filing false reports with a peace officer about the destruction of firearms.
