Three suspects — two of whom were wanted on outstanding warrants — were arrested at the scene, police said.

A 17-year-old is facing charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking, possession of property obtained by crime, obstructing a peace officer and two counts of failing to comply.

Another suspect, a 19-year-old man, has been charged with similar offences, as well as a raft of weapons charges, including careless use of a firearm.

The third man, 25, was taken into custody due to an outstanding warrant.
