Halton Regional Police have laid charges against three men after reports of shots fired in the Lakeshore Road and Burloak Drive area.
On Friday, police were investigating after a driver claimed that someone fired a shot through his car window.
“Members of our police service were called to the area of Burloak Drive and Lakeshore Road, in Oakville-Burlington, that’s right on the border,” said Sgt. Dave Cross of the Halton Regional Police. “A complainant there indicated that his vehicle had been shot at, and that there had been a vehicle seen leaving the area.”
The other vehicle involved was subsequently stopped on the westbound Queen Elizabeth Way near Walkers Line and the occupants were interviewed by police regarding their involvement.
