A prospect of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club was among two men arrested following an investigation into an alleged Newtonville shooting that left one person injured.
According to Durham police, a man visited a home on Sept. 9 and discharged a firearm before fleeing in a red Ford pickup truck. Responding officers located a victim with a gunshot wound; however, that person was uncooperative with investigators, say police.
A day later, search warrants were sought for a vehicle and two residences and executed by Durham police and officers with the Ontario Provincial Police biker enforcement unit, with assistance from the Durham force’s gun and gang enforcement unit and tactical support unit.
As a result, officers seized 13 firearms, two overcapacity magazines and ammunition, say police.
A 38-year-old Clarington man has been charged with possess restricted/prohibited firearm with no license, possess restricted/prohibited firearm knowingly not holding license, discharge firearm into place reckless to others, possession contrary to order, fail to comply with release order and fail to comply with probation order.
OPP officers were involved with the search warrants because the accused from Clarington is a prospect of the Hells Angels outlaw motorcycle club, say Durham police.
Also charged was a 51-year-old Newtonville man, who faces single counts of possess restricted/prohibited firearm no license, possess restricted/prohibited firearm knowingly not holding license, unlicensed person possess prohibited/restricted weapon, possession of a prohibited or restricted weapon knowing its possession is prohibited/restricted and careless storage of a firearm.
