Last Updated Friday, August 2, 2019 5:12PM EDT
A 63-year-old man is dead and his adult son has been taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries after they were stabbed while confronting a group of young men seen breaking into cars outside their home, police said Friday.
The incident occurred on Lanebrook Drive in the Castlemore and Goreway Drive area at around 2:20 a.m.
Acting Supt. Martin Ottaway said the victim and a man believed to be his son witnessed a group of as many as five males engaging in petty theft from parked vehicles.
A police cruiser is shown at the scene of a homicide investigation in Brampton on Friday morning.
They confronted the group and both were stabbed.
The 63-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene. He was later identified by investigators as Glensbert Oliver.
“This was a person trying to stop a minor property offence that escalated to the point of becoming a homicide,” Ottaway said. “Very tragic.”
The suspects, who Ottaway described as black males in their late teens to early 20s, fled the scene in a dark coloured SUV.
