Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) stopped a tractor-trailer carrying stolen vehicles on Highway 401 near Cornwall, Ont.

According to police, officers from the Ministry of Transportation initially stopped the truck that was hauling a sea container. They called the Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry detachment of the OPP, south of the nation’s capital.

Inside the container police found two high-end vehicles, that they believe were stolen from Toronto last month.

As a result, a 61-year-old man from Toronto was charged with possession of property obtained by crime.
