Two people have been arrested and police are looking for two more in connection with a home invasion and shooting in Brampton, Ont., in June.<\/p>\n
In a news release Friday, Peel Regional Police said five people were asleep in a home in the area of McLaughlin Road and Steeles Avenue W. on June 14.<\/p>\n
At approximately 4:30 a.m., three suspects forcibly entered the home through a rear glass door, police said. A fourth suspect remained inside a nearby vehicle, they said.<\/p>\n
Police say two of the home’s occupants suffered gunshot wounds during the incident.<\/p>\n
Both victims were transported to hospital but have since been released, the release said.<\/p>\n
Officers arrested an 18-year-old man and a 16-year-old youth from Toronto on July 15, police said. The two were each charged with eight offenses, including attempted murder using a firearm, aggravated assault, robbery and failure to comply with sentence or disposition.<\/p>\n
Police cannot identify the 16-year-old under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.<\/p>\n
One of the outstanding suspects was armed with a handgun and is described as a male with a dark complexion, approximately six feet tall with a heavy build. Police say there is no description available for the second suspect, who was the driver of the getaway vehicle.<\/p>\n
In a post to social media platform X, Peel Regional Police Chief Nishan Duraiappah said violent home invasions have “a profound impact” on victims and communities.<\/p>\n
“When individuals are targeted in their own homes, it undermines the sense of safety and security that every resident deserves to feel,” he said.<\/p>\n
