RCMP say a male suspect has been arrested after a report that a youth was allegedly seen with a gun in a mall on Vancouver Island.

He says there were no reports of anyone being harmed.

Stuart says the alleged suspect was found at another location around 6:30 p.m.

He says the male is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday, and that police would provide more details Tuesday.
