Two teenage boys were arrested by Montreal police (SPVM) Friday after gunshots were reported in the Villeray—St-Michel—Parc-Extension borough.
The SPVM were called to the intersection of St-Roch Street and Terrasse St-Roch after a 911 call was made around 1:35 p.m.
They did not discover any shell casings or projectile impacts on site and no injuries were reported.
However, officers intercepted two teenage boys, ages 17 and 18, and seized a firearm from them.
The pair were arrested and brought in for questioning.
A security perimeter was established at the scene Friday evening.
