Police charge second housemate of Pheobe Bishop with unrelated weapons offences
A second housemate of missing Queensland teenager Pheobe Bishop has been charged with unrelated weapons offences. James Wood, 34, has been issued with a notice to appear in the Bundaberg Magistrates Court next month charged with one count each of unlawful possession of weapons and authority to possess explosives. Police will allege they found a shortened firearm and ammunition during a search of a grey Hyundai ix35 and a home at Gin Gin last week. The car and the house were both declared crime scenes as part of the investigation into Pheobe's disappearance. There is no suggestion of any link between the weapons charges and the search for the missing 17-year-old. Fellow housemate Tanika Bromley, 33, was granted bail on similar charges earlier this week. Detective Acting Inspector Ryan Thompson said earlier this week the vehicle had been returned to Ms Bromley. "That vehicle was seized by police, it was treated as a crime scene," he said on Tuesday. Mr Wood is due to appear in court on June 13.
