Two men are in jail facing a number of weapons-related offenses after shots were fired at a vehicle that led to a police search.

Officers were called to the area of Sterling Road and Dundas Street West at about 4:41 p.m. on January 6 for a report of a shooting.

It is reported that a vehicle was fired at by two men who were then seen running northbound on Sterling Road.

When officers arrived they found a number of spent shell casings.

The men were located by police and arrested. Three guns were recovered during the arrest, police said.

Toronto police Chief James Ramer congratulated the 11 Division officers  on the arrest writing that they were involved in a foot chase with the suspects following the shooting.

Mario Francis, 32, and David Williams, 19, both of Toronto, were arrested and charged with more than a dozen firearms and failing to comply with a court order offenses.

They appeared at Old City Hall court on January 7.
