A media release from the OPP says officers were patrolling Highway 11 in North Bay at about 9 p.m. April 10 when they observed a vehicle hauling a travel trailer with no lights on the bypass.

The officers conducted a traffic stop and began an investigation upon speaking to the occupants of the vehicle.

Police say a search of the vehicle resulted in multiple firearms and other assorted weapons being seized.

As a result of the investigation, Wesley Berman, 23, of London was with unauthorized possession of a firearm, possession of a prohibited device (butterfly knives), possession of a prohibited device (conducted energy weapon) and three counts of failing to comply with a recognizance.

Caelan Chamberlain-Holden, 20, also of London was charged with unauthorized possession of a firearm, possession of a prohibited device (butterfly knives), possession of a prohibited device (conducted energy weapon), driving a vehicle with cannabis readily available and four charges under the Highway Traffic Act.
