An 18-year-old from London, Ont., is facing several charges following a weapons investigation that began in the city’s northeast end.
The investigation was launched just before 7 a.m. on Sunday when London police responded to reports of a man who was believed to be carrying a gun inside a home on Cedarpark Way.
Police said the man fled the home in a vehicle.
At around 7:40 a.m., police found the suspect vehicle on Fairfax Court, an area in the opposite side of town that’s about a 15-minute drive from Cedarpark Way.
