A heavy police presence was seen on Highway 59, near Salford Road, on Saturday after reports of weapons being seen.
NORWICH TOWNSHIP - The Oxford OPP have offered an educational lesson.
On Saturday at 6:30 p.m., officers received reports of people with firearms at an abandoned business on Highway 59, near Salford Road, in Norwich Township. Once on scene, police found 9 people with BB guns, and there was an increased police presence.
The investigation determined the people were making a video. Police then educated the people on the safety and legal requirements of handling items that look like firearms in public.
Oxford OPP wants to take the time to remind the public that there are specific safety measures, permissions, and notifications that are required to be made in advance if fake, replica or prop firearms will be visible to the public.
