Members of the Nottawasaga Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have laid multiple charges against two individuals following a serious altercation in the Foodland parking lot in Tottenham.

Shortly after 2 p.m. on June 18, officers responded to reports of a disturbance at the Tottenham Foodland on Queen Street North.

Upon arrival, police observed a large group of students from a nearby high school gathered at the scene and noted several damaged vehicles.

An investigation, supported by video surveillance, revealed that an altercation had occurred involving three vehicles: an Acura, an Audi, and a Volkswagen.

The incident escalated when the driver of a blue Acura intentionally struck the passenger side of a black Audi, injuring an occupant who was later transported to a nearby hospital with minor injuries.

The Acura then continued to drive recklessly through the parking lot, striking a second vehicle with an occupant inside, before fleeing the scene.

The suspect vehicle was located in Alliston where officers found the accused walking alongside it.

During the arrest, a 16-year-old individual fled the scene in the Acura but later turned himself in to police.

As a result of the investigation, a 19-year-old from Alliston, was charged with Dangerous Operation, Failure to Stop After an Accident, and two counts of Assault with a Weapon.

A 16-year-old youth from Bradford was also charged with Dangerous Operation, Flight from Peace Officer, Failure to Stop After Accident, and two counts of Assault with a Weapon.

The accused individuals have been held for a bail hearing and the investigation is ongoing.

Anyone with additional information is asked to contact Nottawasaga OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222TIPS (8477).
