Durham police yesterday said four males are facing several charges for firearm possession in Oshawa.
On Sunday, March 1, around 2:40 am, members of Central East Division responded to an armed person call in the area of Saguenay Avenue and Rideau Street.
Police received reports of a man brandishing a firearm while standing in a group of people. Officers arrived on scene and located several individuals filming a music video in two vehicles. Officers removed all parties from the vehicles and located two firearms with loaded magazines.
At the time of his arrest, the 16-year-old boy was already on conditions not to possess any weapons after being arrested for a similar offense earlier this year.
A 20-year old from Clarington and the 16-year old from Oshawa were held for a bail hearing. The 19-year old teen from Whitby and 17-year old from Pickering were released on an undertaking. Name and further details available at www.drps.ca.
