“One victim was seriously injured, and officers immediately arrested two involved parties and recovered a Glock 17 pistol,” said police.

Shortly after 9:00 p.m. on Thursday, June 3, officers conducted a traffic stop of a vehicle after receiving a report of two suspicious males in the area of Enfield Place and Hurontario Street.

Officers allegedly located a Glock 22 and a Glock 21 pistol, which led them to arrest the driver and occupant.

24 year old Toronto man Chunell Phillips and 22 year old Vaughan man Jahvon Anderson were charged with:
