An 18-year-old from London, Ont., is facing several charges following a weapons investigation that began in the city’s northeast end.
The investigation was launched just before 7 a.m. on Sunday when London police responded to reports of a man who was believed to be carrying a gun inside a home on Cedarpark Way.
Police said the man fled the home in a vehicle.
At around 7:40 a.m., police found the suspect vehicle on Fairfax Court, an area in the opposite side of town that’s about a 15-minute drive from Cedarpark Way.
He was found sleeping in a car and attempted to flee before he was arrested, according to police.
A replica firearm was seized during the arrest, according to police. No injuries were reported.
An 18-year-old London man has been charged with five offences, including one count of carrying a concealed weapon and two counts of failing to comply with a release order.
The accused remains in custody and is scheduled to make a court appearance on Wednesday.
