Officers stopped a vehicle in the area of Mercer Avenue and Tuscarora Street Friday evening. That’s when they discovered the license plate attached to the vehicle had been reported stolen.

Both the driver and the passenger were arrested as a result.

Police then seized some illicit drugs and a prohibited weapon along with another stolen license plate and some Canadian money.
