Toronto Residents Charged After RIDE Check Near Wawa

Two Toronto residents are facing charges after being stopped at a RIDE check near Wawa.
Superior East Ontario Provincial Police say the vehicle was stopped on Highway 17 near Wawa shortly after 9:00 pm Saturday night, with officers detecting the odour of cannabis from the vehicle, prompting a search which led to the discovery of stolen property and a large sum of cash.
Police say one of the passengers also falsely identified themselves to police.
Charged is a 24-year-old from Scarborough with two counts of obstruct peace officer and one of breach of recognizance, while an 18-year-old from Toronto has been charged with possession of property obtained by crime under $5000, and possession of proceeds of property obtained by crime over $5000.
The two have been released from custody, with a Wawa court date in early April.
