OPP says one person wanted on a Canada Wide Warrant has been captured and sent back to jail meanwhile another from Nestor Falls has been arrested for possession of weapons and stolen mail following a traffic stop late Friday night.

Officers pulled the vehicle over in Manitou Rapids shortly before midnight and determined the driver, a 27-year-old, was impaired by drugs.

During a search officers discovered suspected methamphetamine, a spring-loaded knife, throwing knives, break-in tools and stolen property linked to a series of thefts from local postal boxes.

The wanted 31-year-old, originally from Winnipeg, has been returned to the Department of Corrections and the 27-year-old will appear in court next month.
