SYDNEY, N.S. — Two people are facing firearm offences in connection with an ongoing investigation by Cape Breton Regional Police into the activities of “outlawed motorcycle clubs”.
James Robert Osmond Berthiaume, 53, and Jennifer Lynn Chisholm, 50, both of Ben Eoin, are charged with unauthorized possession of firearms, careless use of a firearm and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.
They have been released from police custody on conditions and are to appear in provincial court Nov. 30 to enter pleas.
Among the conditions of their release, the accused are not to associate with any other members of the Outlaws or Black Pistons motorcycle clubs or attend their clubhouses.
The pair were charged after police executed a search warrant in connection with an East Bay Highway property last week.
Police seized two firearms, including one that was loaded, ammunition, and clothing affiliated with motorcycle clubs.
