A male victim was taken to Peterborough Regional Health Centre and then taken by helicopter to a Toronto hospital. There is no word on his condition.
Next door neighbour Kenny Collins says it happened at a known drug house and was just a matter of time. “There is fighting at all hours of the night, traffic in and out at all hours, police are always present there and nobody seems ever to be taken away,” Collins told Kawartha 411 News. “It’s a common occurrence nowadays in this area. Covid is over it’s time the police start locking people up instead of giving an undertaking to appear in court.”
