Four men from Toronto are each facing several firearms-related charges after police raided an address in the city’s east end earlier this week.

Police said at that time they located a loaded handgun, a replica handgun, a replica sub-machine gun, and firearm ammunition.
Police subsequently arrested and charged Toronto residents Shandeep Singh, 20, Amirk Singh, 51, Harpreet Kaur, 50, and 29-year-old Rajwant Kaur.
Shandeep Singh was scheduled to appear in bail court on Aug 6, while Amirk Singh, Harpreet Kaur, and Rajwant Kaur have a Sept. 19 court date.
Anyone with further information is asked to contact Toronto police at 416-808-5506 or Crime Stoppers anonymously.
