Charges have been laid after a stolen vehicle noticed in the Wawa area was intercepted near Marathon.
Ontario Provincial Police say they were notified of a vehicle taken from a business in the Greater Toronto Area spotted travelling through the Wawa area around 1:15 pm Wednesday afternoon, with a tire deflation device - a spikebelt - used to bring it to a stop on Highway 17 at mile marker 848 in Pik Township.
The driver and passenger were arrested, with the driver - a 25-year-old from Etobicoke - charged with possession of stolen property over $5000 and held in custody, though the passenger was released unconditionally.
Police ask anyone with information call the OPP or Crime Stoppers.
