Four teenagers are facing charges after Ontario Provincial Police recovered two vehicles in eastern Ontario that were reported stolen in the Greater Toronto Area.
Police say just before 7 a.m. on Wednesday, an officer with the OPP East Region Highway Safety Division located two 2022 Ford pick-up trucks at a service centre on Highway 401 in South Stormont Township.
"Three youths were taken into custody, but one of the vehicles fled the scene," police said in a statement.
An officer located the pick-up truck a short time later in a ditch, the OPP said. Officers arrested the fourth suspect after a short foot pursuit.
A 16-year-old from Innisfill, Ont. and a 17-year-old from Etobicoke are facing a charge of possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000, while a 15-year-old from Etobicoke is charged with theft over $5,000 of a vehicle and possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000.
A 16-year-old from Toronto is facing several charges, including theft of a vehicle, driving a vehicle with no license, flight from a peace officer and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.
Police say the four were remanded into custody until their next court appearance in Cornwall on Thursday.
