An 83-year-old Peterborough man has been arrested following a nearly year-long police investigation involving multiple law enforcement agencies.
John Butcher was taken into custody on March 4 after officers executed a search warrant at a Peterborough property. The investigation began in May 2024 when Caledon OPP received information from the RCMP in New Brunswick.
Butcher faces several charges, including possession of property obtained by crime, unauthorized possession of firearms, and making or possessing explosives for an unlawful purpose.
He remains in custody and is scheduled to appear in court in Peterborough on Thursday.
Police say the investigation is ongoing and are asking anyone with information to contact the OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
