In prosecution on charge of felon in unlawful possession of firearms, Dist. Ct. did not err in denying defendant’s motion to suppress firearms gathered during search of defendant’s home that was executed pursuant to warrant listing various electronic devices as items to be seized. While defendant argued that police exceeded scope of warrant by continuing search after some items in warrant had been located, record showed that not all items in warrant had been located at time firearms had been discovered. As such, police could have continued search until all listed items had been found. Moreover, police found firearms in locations where said electronic devices could have been placed.
