When you have a trunk full of guns and knives, you don't want to attract police attention.
So you should check before heading out that everything is in working order.
Two men hauling a travel trailer failed to heed that advice last Friday, and as a result, face multiple weapons charges.
On April 10 at 9 p.m., North Bay OPP officers were patrolling on Highway 11 in North Bay.
They saw a vehicle hauling a travel trailer with no lights, travelling on the bypass and pulled it over. After questioning the occupants, officers began an investigation.
