They found three teens standing together. One of them reportedly handed a black bag to another individual and the three walked away in separate directions.
Investigators said all three boys were stopped and a search of the bag led to officers finding a replica Glock firearm.
Two 16-year-olds and one 15-year-old, all from Guelph, have been charged with possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose and breaching court orders.
All of the accused have been released with court dates scheduled in the summer.
