A young boy, barely a teenager, was allegedly caught with a gun at an Ajax hotel last week – despite being on probation and under a weapons prohibition order.

Article content

Durham Regional Police say officers responded to “an unknown trouble call” at a hotel near Westney Rd. S. and Bayly St. W. On Wednesday.

“Upon arrival, officers encountered a male armed with a knife and took him into custody without incident,” police said in a statement released Friday.

“During the investigation, officers received information that the suspect may have been in possession of a firearm,” police explained. “With the assistance of the DRPS K9 Unit, officers conducted a search of the property.”

“Investigators subsequently located and seized a firearm,” police added.
