According to a statement from Durham police, around 5:30 p. m. on Saturday, Aug. 22, officers responded to calls about “unknown trouble” in the vicinity of Glen Street and Malaga Road in Oshawa.
Police claim that the two teenagers were chasing another pair of males while armed with knives and both suspects fled as officers arrived at the scene.
Thanks to drone assistance, officers were able to track down and apprehend both suspects before taking them into custody.
No injuries have been reported related to this incident.
