A 16-year-old boy has learned the hard way why you don't carry a replica gun in public.
London police were called about a male seen with a firearm in the area of Citi Plaza on Wellington St. around 2:30pm on Wednesday. Several officers flooded the area and a teen was quickly arrested in the area of Wellington St. and King St.
Police determined the weapon was a replica firearm.
No one was injured during the incident.
Charges have not yet been laid.
