As a result of the police investigation, a 36-year-old of the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury has been charged with the following Criminal Code offences:

  • Assault with a weapon – two counts
  • Possession of a weapon for dangerous purpose
  • Break & Enter
  • Mischief
  • Operation while impaired – blood alcohol concentration (80 plus)

The accused was held in custody for a bail hearing. The OPP will not release names to protect the identity of the victims.
