The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary has laid additional charges against 21-year-old Robert Belbin for his alleged connection to a string of violent incidents that occurred in metro last year.

The incidents happened in May and June, and included shootings and a stabbing on George Street.

Belbin was initially charged with aggravated assault and robbery with violence in connection with the stabbing, while others were also charged following the incidents.
