Police say four suspects, who police believe are linked to an outlaw bikie ring, were arrested shortly after, and three more Kingston residents were arrested the next day.
All seven, aged between 35 and 62, were charged with breaking and entering, assault and possession of a weapon dangerous to public peace. Police say they were all taken into custody following a bail hearing.
Later that evening, at around 7.15pm, officers were called to a house near Brailorn Place and Pembridge Crescent to a car fire. Investigators determined that an incendiary device was used to set the car on fire.
Police believe both incidents were targeted and are investigating a possible link between the attack and the fire. The investigation is being led by Kingston Police with assistance from the Ontario Provincial Police Biker Squad.
