Two men arrested in Brampton Saturday morning after waving what appeared to be a gun out of a car were actually shooting a movie scene, Peel police said.

Peel police received multiple calls around 8 a.m. Saturday about a car driving down a residential street in Brampton. Two men were in the car and one was leaning out of a window waving a gun.

When police arrived on scene, they found the two men sitting in the car. They were ordered out and arrested.

The men were shooting a scene for an independent film and the gun was a prop.

The men, who were released without being charged, told police they had sent a letter about the shoot to a Peel police community liaison officer. They didn’t receive a response and decided to do the shoot anyway.

The community liaison officer had been on vacation and did not see the letter.
