Toronto police have found several guns and a religious book in the trunk of a car that was abandoned after a crash.

The single-vehicle collision happened at Allen and Transit roads, north of Wilson Avenue, around 4:30 a.m. on Friday.

The routine investigation turned into something much more when police arrived to find no one in the car.

However, they did find a machine gun with a silencer, two handguns, one silencer for a handgun, and a small amount of ammunition. Police said the religious materials do not appear to have any connection to the investigation, and it is likely a guns and gangs case.

Police are still looking for the occupant or occupants of the car.
