Winnipeg man arrested after Punjabi popstar AP Dhillon’s Vancouver Island home attacked

Mounties on Vancouver Island say one man has been arrested after shots were fired at the home of Punjabi megastar AP Dhillon in early September.

The singer’s home in Colwood was targeted with dozens of bullets in the early hours of Sept. 2.

West Shore RCMP Corp. Nancy Saggar says they are also looking at arson offences in the case.

A 25-year-old Winnipeg man is facing charges of arson and discharging a firearm with intent.

He was arrested in Ontario yesterday.

Police have a warrant out for a 23-year-old who has been living in Winnipeg, but is believed to be in India currently.

The 23-year-old suspect is described as a 5 foot 9 inches tall, 200 pound man with black hair and brown eyes.

Anyone with additional information on the whereabouts of the suspect is asked to call the West Shore RCMP at 250-474-2264.

More to come.
