Millbrook RCMP charge two men involved in stabbing incident
Millbrook RCMP has charged two men after a stabbing occurred on Willow St. in Millbrook.
On June 19, 2023, at approximately 4:20 p.m., Millbrook RCMP responded to a reported stabbing on Willow St. in Millbrook. RCMP officers learned that a 29-year-old man had been at a gas station on Willow St. when he interacted with two men in a gold coloured van. The passenger, a 28-year-old man, exited the van and stabbed the 29-year-old man. The suspect got back into the van and fled the scene.
RCMP officers met with the victim at a local hospital to obtain further details about what had occurred. The victim advised that the suspect was known to him as was the driver of the van. Officers also learned that the victim had suffered moderate injuries as a result of the stabbing.
At approximately 6:55 p.m., RCMP officers learned that the two men in the van were now driving a red Honda Civic and were following the victim who was on his way home. Millbrook RCMP, with assistance from Colchester County District RCMP, began making patrols for the Civic.
While conducting patrols, a 911 call was received that a firearm had been pointed at the victim from the Civic. Assistance was immediately requested from the Truro Police Service as the vehicle was believed to be around the Truro area.
At approximately 7:15 p.m., the Civic was located on Willow St. and a high-risk takedown was conducted by members of the Millbrook RCMP, Colchester County District RCMP and Truro Police Service. Three people were found in the vehicle and all were safely arrested. RCMP officers located and seized a loaded rifle, a knife and ammunition in the vehicle.
Quinn Googoo, 28, and Aric Martin, 34, both of Millbrook, have been jointly charged with Aggravated Assault, Pointing a Firearm and Possession of a Weapon for a Dangerous Purpose. Both were held in custody and will appear in Truro Provincial Court today.
The third person that was in the vehicle, a 29-year-old woman, was later released on conditions. She will be facing a charge of Unauthorized Possession of a Firearm in a Motor Vehicle and will appear in court at a later date.
