Violent overnight home invasion sends 2 men to hospital in Mississauga

An overnight home invasion in Mississauga’s north end in which two men were reportedly stabbed has sent police on the hunt for an unknown number of culprits.

Peel Regional Police told INsauga.com multiple intruders “forcibly entered” a home in the Mavis Road/Highway 401 area of the city at around 1 a.m. on Wednesday and demanded valuables from the residents.

The home in question is located on Delgado Drive, according to reports, just south of the major highway and west of Mavis Road.

“During the incident, an altercation involving weapons, including a knife and a firearm, took place,” a police spokesperson said in an email to INsauga.com. “As a result, one homeowner sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries while a second individual suffered minor injuries.”

Peel Paramedics told INsauga.com a man in his 40s sustained the more serious injuries while a man in his 60s was also wounded.

Both victims were taken to hospital for treatment of their injuries.

Earlier this year, Mississauga residents told city officials via a community engagement and feedback exercise that home invasions and car thefts are “out of control” in Canada’s seventh-largest city.

That collective sentiment aligns with recent concerns expressed by Peel Regional Police, who’ve also provided statistics showing those crimes, often violent in nature, have become more prevalent in both Mississauga and Brampton the past several years.

Of 2,214 comments from the public received by the City of Mississauga related to safety and crime, most focused on car thefts, home invasions and break-ins, and reckless driving, a report summarizing the community feedback showed.

As far as potential solutions are concerned, “respondents requested visible policing, tougher enforcement and community-led prevention programs,” the report also noted.

Concerned residents meet with police 

Increasingly concerned about a rise in violent crime in its corner of the city, a relatively new Mississauga residents’ group met once again with police last November to discuss the disturbing trend.

The Lorne Park Neighbourhood Safety Group was formed over a year ago to address crime concerns of residents in the affluent area of south Mississauga. Members of the group, who number around 400, are concerned about various serious crimes that have impacted their neighbourhoods since the latter part of 2024 and include car thefts, carjackings and violent home invasions in which offenders are armed.

Senior officers with Peel police first met with the fledgling citizens’ group in December 2024 in response to community concerns over growing crime.

As a result of that meeting, police stepped up patrols in the Lorne Park area in efforts to combat car thefts, home invasions and other crimes that were on the upswing at that time.

Violent criminals continued to target communities

Despite those efforts, violent criminals continued to target that part of Mississauga in addition to other parts of the city, region and Greater Toronto Area.

Last summer, police in Peel revealed details about Project Ghost, a sweeping investigation into more than a dozen violent home invasions that terrorized — and in some cases seriously injured — homeowners and their families in Mississauga, Brampton and elsewhere in the GTA.

In that probe, investigators alleged an organized group used teens to carry out the violent incidents that dated back to summer 2024 and netted the culprits more than $1.8 million in high-end vehicles and jewelry as they terrorized their victims.
