Police Looking For Suspect After Armed Man Shoots At Random Vehicles On The 401

ONTARIO-Police continue to investigate an incident where a man, armed with a handgun, shot randomly at numerous vehicles on Highway 401 in Mississauga yesterday.

The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Criminal Investigation Branch (CIB) has obtained an arrest warrant for Troy LEDREW, age 29 of Toronto.

He is considered armed and dangerous and was last seen on Fasken Drive in Etobicoke. Anyone with information on his whereabouts should contact authorities immediately. Do not approach if spotted.

It was reported that the individual stole a vehicle from a passing motorist and fled the area.
