Waterloo Regional Police say two men from Montreal were arrested in connection with a shooting which occurred on Highway 85 in Kitchener last August.

The shootings occurred on Aug. 14, with the first shots being fired as two cars were headed south on Highway 85 in Kitchener between Lancaster and Guelph streets.

Shots were allegedly fired from a Mercedes into a 2016 four-door grey Honda Civic as the cars were on the highway, police say.

They say the vehicles then travelled to Avalon Place in Kitchener, where more shots were fired.
