OPP officers responded to the area but were unable to locate the truck.

Later that evening, police received a call from a person in the nearby community of Inverary, who reported a black pickup with a person inside shooting at a house before leaving the scene.

“Frontenac OPP members quickly located the vehicle and three individuals were arrested. A search of the vehicle located an air pistol that resembled a restricted handgun,” the OPP said in a news release.

Two individuals, who cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, were charged with possession of an imitation weapon for a dangerous purpose. A third youth was released without charges.

The suspects were released from custody and are set to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Kingston at a later date.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Frontenac OPP at 1-888-310-1122. Anonymous tips can be sent to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).
