They also faced several firearm‑related counts, such as unauthorized possession of a prohibited or restricted firearm, possession of a firearm obtained by crime and possession of proceeds of crime over $5,000.
In the Municipality of Brighton, OPP executed a search warrant on July 6, 2026, recovering a stolen vehicle and a collection of trade tools believed to be taken from a nearby township. Two residents were charged with possession of property obtained by crime valued over $5,000, and one also faced a probation‑order breach. Both individuals remain in custody pending bail hearings.
