by A Sydney man facing charges stemming from a lockdown that took place at the Mayflower Mall last week is due in court today for a bail hearing.
35 year-old Jonathan James Linders is charged with possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, and two counts of breaching court orders.
Cape Breton Regional Police were called to the mall on Tuesday morning of last week following a report that a man with a gun was spotted outside the building.
Police say the weapon turned out to be a BB gun.
Linders was arrested in downtown Sydney around noon that same day.
