Police Call It a Planned Assault
Officers believe this was no random crash but a planned attack. Superintendent Mark Rennie warned: “Violence of this nature will not be tolerated in any part of the city. This is a prime example of a small group of young people instilling fear and concern in a neighbourhood.”

Every person involved in recent incidents will be pursued and arrested, with offenders brought before the courts as soon as possible.”
