Oxford OPP continue to investigate a weapons incident in Ingersoll that took place Thursday.

Around 4:30 p.m., several reports were made about a person walking around Ingersoll with a gun.

When officers arrived at a home on Carroll Street, the suspect was found. OPP said the person was carrying two pellet guns, not a firearm, as thought.

No injuries were reported, and no charges have been laid. The investigation is ongoing.

Police remind the public that while it’s legal to have a pellet gun, it must be transported safely and securely and not cause panic in the community.
