Saskatoon Police say five people from Surrey, B.C. are in court in Saskatoon today after police were called out to a situation that involved vehicle racing and an alleged gun threat.

On Tuesday night around 10:30 p.m. officers were called to a parking lot in the 3500 block of 8th Street East after receiving a report that vehicles had been racing.

When officers got there a man reported he’d been threatened by another man with a gun.

A suspect was located along with four others standing outside a minivan with British Columbia license plates. In searching the van officers seized a firearm, later determined to be a B.B. gun, a knife, bear mace, an axe, two baseball bats and bottles of alcohol. Two adults males, ages 18 and 19, along with three youth – two girls ages 14 and 15 and a 15 year old male, were taken into custody.
