“I am very proud of the work of our Investigative team over the past week and a half. The long hours and thoroughness of the investigation has resulted in the arrest of the person believed to have used the firearm in our community, compromising the safety of our residents. This suspect already has a conviction for armed robbery involving a firearm and we are asking he be held in custody. We are thankful that the shooting victim is continuing to recover from their injuries and will continue to search for the second suspect involved in this incident. Anyone with information is asked to contact us or Crime Stoppers.” said Chief Stuart Betts of the Peterborough Police Service.
Police say there is no indication the shooting is connected to a September 2024 incident at the same location.
