A Toronto man is facing charges after police discovered two high-end stolen vehicles in a tractor-trailer on Highway 401 in eastern Ontario.

Ontario Provincial Police say officers from the Ontario Ministry of Transportation stopped a tractor-trailer hauling a sea container Wednesday morning in the eastbound lanes of Highway 401 near Cornwall.

The officers then called the OPP for assistance.

“Inside the sea can they found two high-end vehicles which had been stolen in Toronto in January,” the OPP said.

Photos posted on the OPP social media account show a Lexus and a Land Rover inside the back of the tractor-trailer.

Police say a 61-year-old man from Toronto was charged with possession of property obtained by crime.
