A Guelph teenager was arrested Monday evening after allegedly brandishing a knife during a dispute in a store parking lot.

Just before 9 p.m. several males were involved in a dispute in a parking lot on Speedvale Avenue East near Victoria Road North. During the dispute one of the males brandished a folding knife before leaving in a motor vehicle with two other males.

Guelph police located the vehicle nearby and stopped it. A search of the vehicle revealed a folding knife with 10 centimetre blade where the male had been sitting.

A 17-year-old male is charged with possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose and disobeying a court-ordered weapons prohibition. He will appear in a Guelph court July 7.
