On Wednesday afternoon, March 17 at approximately 2:00 p.m., Cobourg police received a report of four men in the downtown area with handguns and masks.

Police located the four men in a van parked on King Street just west of Division Street.

Police quickly located two toy handguns and were told by the men that they were filming a movie for a local church.

The toy guns were seized by police who don’t understand why people would not call police and ask for permission for such an activity.

Toy guns, which often look real, are treated as being real by police until officers prove otherwise.

No charges were laid.
