Police allegedly spotted illicit drugs in plain view in the vehicle. A search of the vehicle led to the seizure of substances.

As a result, police arrested and charged a 20-year-old from Hensall with possession of a schedule 1 substance.

The accused will appear at the Ontario Court of Justice at a later date.
