Barrie police say two teenagers have been arrested and loaded handguns were seized as part of a "proactive investigation" into drug trafficking in the city.
Officers with the drug enforcement unit and members of the community safety and well-being team arrested two individuals and executed two warrants at residential addresses in Barrie.
Shortly after 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 3, police say two male suspects were located in a vehicle in the area of Dunlop Street West and Ferndale Drive North as part of the investigation.
Assisted by the Barrie police tactical support unit, two 17-year-old Barrie males were taken into custody without incident.
