Pistols and other weapons, in some cases fully loaded, were discovered under or around the driver seats of the vehicles.

The five individuals facing charges are residents of Alabama, Colorado and Michigan.

More than 100 drug seizures, ten firearms seizures and one child pornography seizure were made at Ontario border crossing during the month of March.
