Gun, drugs seized from suspects sleeping in vehicle

Essex County OPP seized a firearm, knives, and a quantity of illicit drugs after discovering two individuals asleep inside an idling vehicle.

The officer reported a “suspicious vehicle with the engine running” shortly after midnight on Sept. 11 while on patrol on Russell Street in Leamington.

The officer approached the vehicle, reportedly noticed open alcohol, and then attempted to wake the sleeping occupants.

According to OPP, the two individuals were taken into custody without incident.

During the investigation, officers seized one firearm, a quantity of illicit drugs, including suspected fentanyl, several knives, and other offence-related items.

Both the 46-year-old and 36-year-old residents of the Town of Kingsville were arrested and face multiple charges.

The charges include possession of more then 30 gram of dried cannabis in a public place, possession of a firearm with a tampered serial number, possession of drugs for the purpose of trafficking, and having care and control of a vehicle with an open container of liquor.

Both accused were taken into custody pending a bail hearing at the Ontario Court of Justice in downtown Windsor.
