“I understand that these incidents strike at residents’ feelings of safety in their community. To date, we have ascertained that this was a targeted shooting and that it is connect to the drug subculture. While I am unable to speak to the specifics of an investigation, the Peterborough Police Service and our officers are committed to working toward finding the people responsible and bringing them before the courts. Information is a key component of determining answers. My position on the presence and use of illicit substances in our community has been clear – I do not tolerate it; it leads to the proliferation of other crimes. I ask that our community continue to help us by reporting any suspicious activity to police. I am also appealing to anyone with information or security camera footage/dash cam footage from the time of the incident to contact police.” – Stu Betts, Chief, Peterborough Police Service.
