Two teenagers are facing a raft of charges after a car chase last Friday that began on Cobourg Street and ended in Vanier.

The chase began just after 4 p.m. when Ottawa police spotted a stolen car and tried to stop it. The driver took off, but officers found the still-running car abandoned on Montreal Road, just east of the Cummings Bridge. A loaded handgun was found on the road by the car, police say. The teens were arrested nearby.
