Two Huron County residents are facing multiple criminal charges after police recovered stolen property from an Ashfield-Colborne-Wawanosh residence.

OPP officers from several detachments and specialized units executed a search warrant at a residence on St. Augustine Line.

Police recovered several stolen items including a wood stove, vehicle batteries, a Polaris ATV, a stamp collection and a chainsaw. The total value of the recovered stolen property is estimated at $10,000.

During the search, police located an air soft pistol and a crossbow. The male suspect was not allowed to be in possession of these items due to a court ordered.
