On August 9, 2023, an Ontario Provincial Police officer fired his Anti-Riot Weapon ENfield (ARWEN) at a 16-year-old male. The SIU initiated an investigation. On his assessment of the evidence, SIU Director Joseph Martino determined there were no reasonable grounds to believe that an officer committed a criminal offence in connection with the use of the ARWEN.
