Shooting suspects arrested in Owen Sound

Owen Sound police picked up a pair of suspects wanted for a shooting incident Wednesday in Whitby.

A number of police units were involved in the arrest of the wanted suspects at two Owen Sound locations yesterday, including a hotel.

The male and female suspects were taken into custody without incident. Police executed search warrants which resulted in the seizure of a firearm, ammunition and drugs.

A 29-year-old man and a 32-year-old woman, both of no fixed address, face numerous firearm-related charges. They were held for a bail hearing. The investigation is still ongoing.
