A man has been arrested after 13 grenades and a firearm were located in a home in Dorset Park, Wednesday evening, Toronto Police confirm.

Around 10 p.m., several houses were evacuated after officers located the weapons at a home on Canlish Rd. near Lawrence Ave. E. and Birchmount Rd. while conducting a criminal code search warrant.

The Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear unit determined the grenades to be live, Const. Allyson Douglas-Cook told the Star.

They have since removed the explosives, and are working with the Canadian Armed Forces to safely destroy them, she said. Residents who were evacuated have been allowed back into their homes.

Toronto Police Service issued a statement on Thursday afternoon, saying that, along with the grenades, they had also found a semi-automatic 9mm handgun, two types of magazines, and multiple rounds of 9mm ammunition.
