Police say a witness saw two male teenagers point a gun at the front door of the McDonalds restaurant on Nantucket Ave, in Dartmouth, Friday evening.
Officers say the witness saw the teens outside the restaurant in a Hyundai Elantra at 6:10 p.m.
The witness says the passenger in the vehicle stuck his arm out of the window and pointed a gun at the restaurant where no one was near the door.
The suspects, a 15-year-old and 17-year-old, drove away and were located by police later at the No Frills store on Wyse Road.
Police located a pellet gun in the vehicle and took the two into custody.
Both teens have been charged with possession of a weapon and were turned over to their parents.
They will appear in Halifax Youth Court on Aug. 17.
