Published March 21, 2024 at 1:16 pm
Police have laid more charges and made another arrest in a gunpoint home invasion and shooting where a victim was pistol-whipped in Brampton.
The armed attack happened on Nov. 25 when four people broke into a home near Sandalwood Parkway and McLaughlin Road in Brampton, Peel Regional Police say.
Investigators say suspects used force to break into the home and demanded money and property from victims who were home at the time.
One of the invaders was armed with a handgun and fired a shot during the break-in, and also struck one of the victims with the firearm.
The victim suffered minor injuries in the assault and the suspects fled the scene with undisclosed property taken from the home.
Now police say a 21-year-old man and 26-year-old woman, both from Brampton, have been arrested and charged with multiple offences in connection with the break-in.
