On January 22nd at 1:45 a.m., officers stopped a vehicle at the RIDE program being conducted on Highway 21.

The driver and passenger were both in violation of probation orders, and an investigation and search of the vehicle resulted in police seizing a number of prohibited firearms and drugs, including opioids, illegal cannabis and suspected fentanyl.

The 26-year-old driver from Saugeen Shores and the 19-year-old passenger from Kitchener were both arrested and were held pending bail hearings where they were remanded into custody.
