A high-risk traffic stop has resulted in charges for a Sarnia man.

Around 6 p.m. on Wednesday, the Sarnia police Major case Action Team (MCAT) stopped a vehicle in the area of Russell Street and Durand Street — a man was arrested for unauthorized possession of a weapon.

After the stop, a search warrant was used at a home on Devonshire Road where police seized several items including loaded weapons and a ballistic vest that had an old Sarnia police crews sewn on the front of it.
