Toronto Police officers responding to a raucous party in the city’s west end found a man asleep in a car with a gun on his lap and ended up making four arrests.
At about 8:30 a.m. Saturday, police were called to a residence in the Meadowbank Rd. and Cowley Ave. area, near Rathburn Rd. and The East Mall, about a party at a short-term rental home.
On arrival, officers arrested the sleeping man with the gun. They also saw two men fleeing through neighbouring properties and recovered another firearm that had been discarded.
Police then approached a group and found a loaded magazine. All three men were arrested.
After that, the home was searched by the Emergency Task Force and five people were arrested but later released.
Kingslee Christie, 22, of no fixed address, is facing numerous gun charges including possession of a regulated firearm in a vehicle and having a restricted weapon, as well as probation violations.
Najib Adan, 28, of Mississauga, and Zyad Siddiqui, 28, and Said Keylie, 24, both of Toronto, are charged with two counts each of possession of a prohibited device, which was the loaded magazine.
Anyone with information is asked to call 416-808-2200 or Crime Stoppers at 416-222-TIPS (8477).
