York Regional Police say the Homicide Unit has been notified following an “incident” at a park in Keswick.
Police would not say exactly what happened, but there is a large police presence at the scene around Bayview Park.
Images from the scene showed officers and a number of police vehicles at the entrance to the park.
Police set up a perimeter from Doverdale Drive to the south, Bayview Avenue and the Queensway to the northwest and Fairwood Drive to the east.
Several schools in the area are under a hold and secure order as police investigate, though the schools themselves are not part of the incident.
“Schools in the Keswick area are currently in a hold & secure,” The York Region District School Board said in a post on X. “This is due to police activity in the area & not related to any incident in the school. Everyone in the building is safe.”
Police are asking people to avoid the area as they investigate.
No further details have been released so far.
