SYDNEY, N.S. — Four people have been arrested after police received a call about "shots fired" in Sydney just after 12 a.m. on Oct. 13.

“We responded to a complaint about a firearm being discharged (near Hillside Court in Sydney),” said Cape Breton Regional Police inspector Stephen MacKinnon.

“As a result, a number of people have been arrested. There were no injuries.”

MacKinnon said four people were arrested at the scene, three men and one woman.
