A recent police operation at the Gananoque Truck Inspection Station resulted in 15 charges being laid.
Leeds County OPP say they teamed up with the Ministry of Transportation and the OPP Emergency Response Team to track down drivers who failed to stop at the inspection station.
They say the initiative saw officers stop multiple commercial vehicles on secondary records, as they attempted to avoid a truck inspection station.
The vehicles were then escorted them back for inspection.
Police say over a dozen commercial vehicle inspections were conducted, six of which occurred after vehicles were located bypassing the station.
Along with the charges, four commercial vehicles were taken out of service.
One driver, a 27-year-old Woodstock resident, was charged with possession of a schedule I substance – opioid, amongst many other traffic-related offences.
