Weapons charges laid following BB gun incident

Three individuals, including a youth offender, have been charged with weapons offences following a recent incident in Listowel.

On June 22 just before 8 p.m., Perth County OPP officers responded to an Elma Street West address in Listowel after a report of a drive-by shooting involving a BB gun. No injuries were reported.

The vehicle involved was found later by police, and the three individuals inside were arrested without incident.

As a result, a 24-year-old from Niagara Falls, a 19-year-old from North Perth and a 17-year-old from North Perth are all facing numerous charges including possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.

The 17-year-old and 19-year-old were released from custody and are scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Stratford at a later date to answer to the charges.
