Brampton, Dec 13: Three Indian-origin truck drivers have been arrested following a shootout between rival tow-truck groups in Brampton, Peel Regional Police said, as the search continues for a fourth suspect.

The incident occurred around 10:45 pm on October 7 in a parking lot near McVean Drive and Castlemore Road, when gunshots were fired during an altercation between two groups. One person sustained minor injuries, police said.

After a lengthy investigation, police identified Manjot Bhatti, Navjot Bhatti, and Amanjot Bhatti as suspects associated with one of the groups. A search warrant executed on November 20 at a Caledon residence led to their arrests.

Manjot Bhatti faces multiple charges, including intentional reckless discharge of a firearm, possession of a loaded prohibited firearm, careless storage of a firearm, carrying a concealed weapon, and knowledge of unauthorized possession of a firearm. His bail hearing is pending, though he has been released on bail.

Navjot and Amanjot Bhatti are accused of travelling in a vehicle knowing a firearm was inside and have been released on an undertaking to appear in court later.

Police are still searching for the fourth suspect, described as a South Asian male, seen in the video wearing a black jacket, blue jeans, and white running shoes.
