He is 29-year-old Ellerslie Pen worker Suman McFarlane.
Three guns and a large amount of ammo were also reported taken into custody by the police.
Bailey also disclosed that an automobile, money, high-end merchandise, and designer apparel with a combined estimated worth of $3 million were found at an Old Harbor site.
