Toronto police say two men are facing a list of charges after a loaded handgun was allegedly found during a RIDE spot check in the Beaches last night.

Police said they stopped a vehicle in the Lake Shore Boulevard East and Coxwell Avenue area at around 11:20 p.m. on Dec. 15.

They said two men were found in the vehicle and investigated for Highway Traffic Act offences. Police said a loaded handgun was also seized.

The two men were taken into custody at the scene.

Police said Saturday that 22-year-old Tajean Alexander-Smith and 18-year-old Joegi Manuel — both from Toronto — are now facing a list of weapon charges.

Alexander-Smith is also facing a charge of driving while under suspension, while Manuel is facing two counts of failing to comply with a release order.

Both men are scheduled to make a court appearance on December 18.
