Three youths are in police custody after a Brampton high school was put into lockdown on Thursday afternoon.
Peel Regional Police say they have arrested two girls and a boy, who are the age of 16, and seized a fake firearm from outside of Brampton Centennial Secondary School.
The school was place in hold and secure after reports of someone seen carrying a firearm in the area of the school, located in the Elgin Drive and McMurchy Avenue area.
