Strathroy-Caradoc police say additional charges have been laid in connection with a downtown shooting on Aug. 9.

Police say Alexandre Allie, 25, of Strathroy-Caradoc, was in a vehicle attempting to cross the Peace Bridge in Fort Erie, Ont., into Buffalo, N.Y., on Aug. 12.

Niagara police arrested Allie on a warrant from Strathroy-Caradoc police after he was turned over by the Canada Border Services Agency. Officers recovered a .22 revolver and a quantity of drugs from inside the vehicle.

A woman from Stratford, with Allie, was also arrested and taken into custody.

On Friday, police said further charges have been laid against Allie and the female he was with after a Strathroy residence was searched.

Amanda Kristine Moore, 34, of Strathroy-Caradoc, is charged with being an accessory after the fact to commit an indictable offence.

Allie was already facing nearly two dozen charges in connection with the Aug. 9 shooting, which injured two men.

Police began investigating the shooting around 6:30 p.m. on Sunday after two men checked into a Strathroy hospital, both suffering from non-life-threatening gunshot wounds.

Police believe the shooting may have taken place in an alley behind Frank Street in Strathroy.

Strathroy-Caradoc police say the investigation is ongoing, and investigators have had little cooperation from the two male victims.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Strathroy-Caradoc police at 519-245-1250 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
