Four people are now in police custody following a takedown on Highway 401 where a gun was seized by Toronto police.
According to officers, they received a call from someone reporting that a person was travelling with a gun inside a vehicle on Highway 401 near Dufferin Street shortly before 8 p.m. Thursday.
Several police cruisers made an attempt in locating the vehicle and managed to pull over a suspect on the eastbound side of the 401 near Warden Avenue a short time later. Traffic was disrupted for a brief amount of time through that stretch of the highway.
Toronto police say that the firearm that was located was a replica.
The investigation is ongoing and there is no word on possible charges at this time.
Investigators have not released the identities or ages of the people who are in custody.
