Canadian police arrest man with crossbow, other dangerous items near G-20 site | A day ahead of the start of the G-20 summit, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police has arrested a man for carrying a crossbow and other dangerous items in his car in downtown Toronto. Gary McCullough, 53,
has been charged with one count of carrying dangerous weapons and he'll appear
in court on Friday (Canadian time) at 2 p.m. McCullough was arrested after a car
containing a cache of equipment in a makeshift storage container, including a
crossbow and chainsaw, was stopped near the G-20 security zone in Toronto . .
Police said some weapons were visible when they looked in the car, and they eventually
removed a crossbow, five arrows, a sledgehammer, a pickaxe, a chainsaw, and a
baseball bat, The Globe and Mail reports. A gasoline canister, cola bottle and
water container were tested by the hazardous materials team, but the substances
inside were deemed harmless. A scruffy white dog was also in the car at the time
of the arrest. At the scene, Constable Hugh Smith of Toronto Police Services said
the driver appeared disoriented when answering police questions. He was pulled
over when he drove into the area because of the appearance of his vehicle. Constable
April Dequanne said the 53-year-old man's arrest "was not believed to be" related
to the upcoming summit, but the investigation would continue. |
