Thirty-three-year-old Jason Robert Burns faces serious charges after allegedly leading a brutal home invasion and arson in Coles Bay, where a 76-year-old man was tied up, robbed, and his home torched. Burns entered a not guilty plea via video from prison, while two accomplices also face similar charges — one granted bail, the other awaiting court. The victim, now recovering after six days in hospital, has received over $100,000 in community support and volunteers are helping rebuild his life. Police still haven’t recovered stolen firearms and are urging the public for tips. Burns’ next court date is September 25th.
