Brockville Police have arrested a 17-year-old youth following the suspicious deaths of three individuals at a residence on Cartier Court.
Police say officers responded to a 911 call shortly after 11:30 a.m. on May 7 and discovered three deceased individuals inside the home. Investigators determined the deaths were suspicious in nature.
Following the initial response, officers received additional information that led them to a second location on the outskirts of Brockville. A 17-year-old Brockville resident was taken into custody and charged with three counts of first-degree murder as well as assaulting a police officer.
