Police say multiple incidents stretching from Smiths Falls to Cornwall have resulted in four youths facing drug and weapon charges.
East Region OPP say it started early New Year’s Day when a car, that had been reported stolen earlier, was involved in several reports of dangerous driving in and around Smiths Falls.
During one attempt to stop the vehicle in Kemptville, police say an OPP officer narrowly avoided being struck by the car as the driver attempted to flee.
The vehicle eventually ended up going off the road in the Spencerville area and four individuals were arrested without further incident.
A quantity of suspected cocaine, other drugs, alcohol and weapons were found in the vehicle.
A 15-year-old female from Tay Valley Township, and a male and female, both age 15, and a 12-year-old female, all from Smiths Falls, have been charged with numerous offences.
Police say they can confirm that the incidents are connected to earlier reports of missing teenagers in Smiths Falls.
Two of the accused were held for bail hearings, while the other two were released with scheduled court appearances.
