Members of the Northumberland Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have charged two individuals following a traffic stop in Campbellford.

Both motorist and passenger who were wanted, reportedly fled on foot from police and were shortly taken into custody by officers with assistance from members of the Peterborough-Northumberland Community Street Crime Unit (CSCU).

A search yielded a quantity of suspected methamphetamine and ammunition.

Jennifer BRIDGES (45) of no fixed address, has been charged with:

  •       Possession of Schedule I substance – Methamphetamine
  •       Possession of firearm or ammunition contrary to prohibition order
  •       Fail to comply with probation order

Both accused were held for bail to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Cobourg. The vehicle has been impounded for 45 days.
