Police said they were called to Abinojii Mikanah and Newmarket Boulevard about the sound of shots just before 2 a.m.

An investigation led them to a suite on Ballantrae Drive, where police said people had fired shots into a field from the suite’s balcony.

The major crimes unit searched the suite and seized a fully operational semi-automatic rifle, two rifles/shotguns “in various states of disassembly,” and ammunition.

The search also turned up 23 rocks of crack cocaine, with an estimated street value of $4,600, along with scales and packaging materials.

Two men and a 23-year-old woman were arrested and charged with weapon and drug-related offences. The men, both 24, remain in custody.
