Two men are facing charges after they were found carrying a gun and multiple rounds of ammunition in a North York elementary school parking lot Thursday.

At 8:30 p.m., officers from 31 Division were on patrol when they noticed two men riding bicycles in Firgrove Public School’s parking lot, on 270 Firgrove Cres., near Jane St. and Finch Ave. W, police said.

It is alleged that when the two suspects saw the officers approach, they got off their bicycles and attempted to get into a van parked in the area.

According to police, one of the men then attempted to flee the scene, but in doing so, he dropped a loaded handgun on the ground.

Officers were able to catch up and take the suspect into custody after a short pursuit on foot.

Police say they recovered a 9 mm browning handgun with seven rounds of ammunition, one of which was already inserted in the firearm.

Abdurazak Abdrabo, 22, and Aman Ali, 23, are facing a total of 15 firearm related charges.

Both Toronto men appeared in court Friday morning.
