A London man is facing several firearms-related charges after police say they found him in possession of a loaded handgun.
On Wednesday, members of the London Police Service stopped a vehicle in the 800 block of Exeter Road after receiving information a wanted female was possibly in the car.
Police say one of the passengers was found with a loaded handgun.
As a result of the investigation, a 36-year-old London man is charged with possession of a restricted or prohibited firearm knowingly not holding a licence and registration certificate and possession of a prohibited or restricted firearm with ammunition.
He has also been charged with possession of a firearm or ammunition contrary to a prohibition order.
The accused remains in custody after appearing in London court Thursday for the charges.
