Four 16-year-olds were arrested, two of whom are facing cannabis charges, after a replica handgun and a quantity of marijuana were seized from a vehicle on Highway 400 on Monday.
“A witness saw what appeared to be a black handgun being pulled in and out of a black backpack, with four occupants in a motor vehicle, travelling southbound on Highway 400,” OPP Const. Ouwendyk said on Twitter Tuesday.
The vehicle was located and officers initiated a “rolling block” and a “high-risk takedown,” Ouwendyk said.
The four teens were released to their parents.
