A 17-year-old boy is facing a slew of charges after police founded a loaded firearm tucked in his pants.
The boy, who can’t be named under the terms of the Youth Criminal Justice Act, was located by officers in the Jane Street and Highway 401 area on Sept. 2 after he breached the terms of his recognizance on Aug. 28, police said in a news release.
When officers found the boy, they discovered a loaded firearm tucked into the waistband of his pants as well as a quantity of money and crack cocaine on his person.
The teen is now facing 14 charges, including possession of a loaded firearm, careless storage, carrying a concealed weapon and possession for the purpose of trafficking.
He was scheduled to make a court appearance Sept. 3.
