At least four schools are under hold and secure in Mississauga as Peel police hunt an armed bank robbery suspect.

The incident is unfolding in Streetsville around 11:15 a.m.

A gun was seen, say police, in the incident near Queen St. S. and Maiden Lane.

Two suspects fled on foot heading east. They’re described as thin, wearing all black, with their faces covered.

Schools under hold and secure include Streetsville, Saint Joseph Catholic Elementary, Little Rascals Preschool, and Kendellhurst Academy.

This is the second straight week schools in Mississauga have been under hold and secure.
