Toronto, Dec. 6 (IBNS): Conducting a search warrant for drugs on Scarborough Golf Club, near Toronto, led the police to the discovery of a suspicious item in a childrenâ€™s box in a garage, said Det. Andrew Lipkus, Monday around 7:20 p.m., reported CTVNews.

According to the investigators police had received information of three fire arms in the house and explosive device in the garage.

The police officers set a boundary and evacuated several surrounding homes.
