16-year-old among 3 arrested after incident at Barrie plaza involving weapons, drugs
A 16-year-old boy is among three people arrested following an incident Thursday evening involving weapons and illegal drugs at a plaza in Barrie. Police attended St. Vincent Street and Cundles Road around 7 p.m. after receiving a report about three unwanted people in an establishment located within the plaza. Police say when they arrived in the area, one suspect took off on foot but officers quickly caught up to him in a parking lot across the street. While searching the area, officers reportedly found a discarded satchel containing suspected fentanyl and cocaine, a replica firearm, and drug-related paraphernalia. A second male ran into a business and tried to hide in a washroom where he was located and arrested. Officers allegedly found a loaded semi-automatic firearm and drugs in his possession. The third suspect, a 39-year-old man from Toronto, was arrested on an outstanding warrant from an incident that police say happened in April involving local officers. The teen, from Barrie, is facing drug-related charges, along with failing to comply with a sentence and a release order. His identity is protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. A 20-year-old man from Barrie is charged with a slew of weapons and drug-related offences, including possession of a prohibited device or ammunition for a dangerous purpose. The trio spent the night in police custody to await bail hearings.
