Region of Peel – Investigators from the 22 Division Criminal Investigation Bureau have charged four individuals with firearm-related offences.

On Saturday, April 5, 2025, police responded to a Trespass call at an apartment building at McMurchy Avenue and Charolais Boulevard in Brampton. Uniform officers attended and located four individuals in a stairwell of the building. Police engaged in a foot chase with the individuals, which resulted in all four being arrested and the seizure of a loaded firearm.

Stefan Jones, a 27-year-old; Dequan Hankey, a 20-year-old; Judah Jones, a 20-year-old and Tyrone Wellington, an 18-year-old from Brampton are all charged with the following offences:

• Possession of a Loaded Prohibited Firearm
• Unauthorized Possession of a Firearm
• Possession of a Prohibited Device.

The firearm was recovered and found to be loaded with a magazine beyond legal capacity and believed to be partially constructed with 3D-printed components.

Stefan Jones and Tyrone Wellington were both found to be in breach of previous court orders from a robbery investigation.

"Even though majority of the firearms seized can be traced back to the U.S., the accessibility and unpredictability of 3D-printed guns remain a serious threat to public safety. Incidents like this also highlight the urgent need for bail reform to prevent repeat offenses and ensure lasting consequences for those who put our communities at risk. Excellent work by 22 Division Uniform Patrol and the Criminal Investigation Bureau," said Deputy Chief Marc Andrews, Peel Regional Police.
