May 20, 2016   ·   0 Comments

Caledon OPP are asking for assistance from the public in finding those responsible for a pellet gun being fired at a vehicle in Bolton.
Police report the incident took place May 10 at about 1:30 p.m. in the area of Regional Road 50 and Bolton Heights Drive.
The driver of the northbound vehicle was alarmed by the sound of a pellet that had been shot through his windshield causing damage. The victim observed four youths that were initially standing on the east side of the highway prior to running eastbound along the path.
The male holding the pellet rifle was described as brown, roughly five feet seven or eight inches in height, wearing a black t-shirt and black hoodie with jeans. The pellet rifle was described as dark in colour and approximately two to three feet in length.
Police are investigating this occurrence with assistance from the Street Crime Unit of the Caledon OPP. They are determining if this incident is related to a prior occurrence that took place April 28 shortly after 7 p.m. in the same location. During this time, a female was struck by a pellet from a moving vehicle while out for a walk.
The behaviour by those involved in these occurrences is not only senseless but extremely dangerous. Police are committed to public safety and will not tolerate behaviour that jeopardizes this core value.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact the police at (905) 584-2241 to speak with Provincial Constable Alex Philbin or toll free at 1-888-310-1122.
Those who wish to remain anonymous may call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), or can also submit information online at www.peelcrimestoppers.ca
