Three Arrested at Protests in Brampton and Mississauga: Peel Police

Investigators have arrested four individuals in relation to protests in the City of Brampton and Mississauga.

On Sunday, November 3, 2024, at approximately 12:00 p.m., officers attended a place of worship in the area of The Gore Road in Brampton in response to a trespassing complaint by a group of protestors.  Later a demonstration occurred in the area of Goreway Drive and Etude Drive in Mississauga. Finally, a third protest occurred shortly after at a place of worship near Airport Road and Drew Road in Mississauga. Although these demonstrations occurred at three different locations, they appear to be related to one another.  Several incidents between protestors and worshippers broke out.

As a result, three men were arrested and charged.

Dilpreet Singh Bouns, a 43-year-old man from Mississauga, was charged with:

• Cause Disturbance

• Assault Peace Officer

Vikas, a 23-year-old man from Brampton, was charged with:

• Assault with a Weapon

Amritpal Singh, a 31-year-old man from Mississauga, was charged with:

• Mischief over $5000

All three men will appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Brampton at a later date.

A fourth individual was arrested on an outstanding unrelated warrant and subsequently released.

A Peel Regional Police officer was treated in hospital for minor injuries.  There were no other reports of any physical injuries.
