Investigators with the York Regional Police Hold-Up Unit charged three suspects with numerous offences in connection with a November 2024 armed home invasion in the Township of King.
Officers, including members of the tactical unit, executed search warrants Feb. 26, following a lengthy investigation. Police arrived at residences in the Town of Grimsby and Cities of Toronto and Oshawa.
As a result, investigators with the Hold-Up Unit, assisted by the York Regional Police Emergency Response and Canine Units, as well as the Niagara Regional Police Emergency Task Unit, arrested three male suspects.
Charged were:
Clayton McFarlane, 44, of Oshawa, Attempt to Commit Murder; Robbery with a Firearm; Possession of Prohibited or Restricted Firearm with Ammunition; Theft Under $5,000; Possession of Firearm Contrary to Order; Possession of Property Obtained by Crime Over $5,000, and Possession of Break-In Instruments.
Darnyl Campbell, 33, of Grimsby, Attempt to Commit Murder; Robbery with a Firearm; Disguise with Intent; Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking.
Andrew Dove, 39, of Toronto, Fail to Comply with Release Order.
The charges stem from a Nov. 2, 2024 incident when police responded to reports of a shooting at a home in the area of Paradise Valley Trail and Fairmont Ridge Trail. A 39-year-old male was located at the scene and taken to a trauma centre with non-life-threatening injuries. It was learned a residence had been broken into by two armed suspects. A male not associated to the residence attended to assist the homeowners, when he was confronted by the suspects who shot him before fleeing.
