Three teens and an adult are facing charges following an investigation in which police seized a reported stolen vehicle and a loaded firearm.
Huron County OPP came across a sports utility vehicle that was parked on the side of Highway 8 with its hazard lights activated at around 10:20 p.m. on Monday.
A check of the licence plates showed the vehicle had been recently reported stolen from London, police said.
The officer spoke to the people inside the vehicle, who claimed they had run out of gas and were waiting on another friend who had been in the vehicle with them to return with some gas.
Moments later, a young male showed up with a jerry can of gas after getting dropped off by a Good Samaritan who had stopped to help, police said.
According to police, all four were arrested and taken into custody. Investigators say a search of the young male who showed up with the jerry can of gas located a concealed loaded firearm.
