EDMONTON -- Two men are in custody after an early morning weapons incident in north Edmonton.

Around 6:50 a.m. Saturday morning, police were called to 169 Avenue and 76 Street in the Schonsee neighbourhood after receiving reports of suspicious behaviour with two armed men casing homes and vehicles in the area.

Police say they arrived on scene and observed two men matching the description of the complainants.

One man was arrested and found to be in possession of a sawed-off rifle.

According to police, the second man fled from them on a bicycle but was found a short time later. That suspect also had a sawed-off rifle.
