The Ontario Provincial Police announced the arrest of two teenage boys in connection with multiple rock-throwing incidents reported between September and November. Police reported 11 instances of rocks deliberately thrown at vehicles on Highway 48, resulting in two people suffering life-threatening injuries.
The accused, both 18 years old and identified as from Markham and Richmond Hill, face charges of aggravated assault, mischief endangering life, and mischief damage to property. Police withheld their identities due to their youth at the time of the incidents.
