Now, RCMP say a 48-year-old Winnipegger, Colin Joel Busko, faces 17 counts of possession of property obtained by crime.
He has been released from custody and is due in court Nov. 21.
On Sept. 20, RCMP searched a property north of Winnipeg and found a variety of stolen items. that led to a search this week of the property in the North End.
It's believed most of the items were stolen from Winnipeg.
