Police report details guns and ammo seizure and arrest of Manchester man

A convicted felon used his daughter’s New Hampshire address to receive ammunition that he then hid with the rest of an extensive arsenal behind a false wall in his Manchester home, a police report released Monday says.

Paul Bato, 54, faces charges that include criminal possession of a firearm, illegal possession of an assault weapon and possession of illegal high-capacity magazines, police said. Bato, of 536 Birch Mountain Road, also is charged with violating a state law on possession of “ghost guns," which lack serial numbers. He was free after posting bail of $200,000 and was to appear in court on July 7, officials said.
