An Ottawa resident is facing charges following an investigation into stolen vehicles in Limoges, Ont. that resulted in the execution of a search warrant Wednesday, according to the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP).

Police say they searched a location on Limoges Road and found and recovered a backhoe, which had been reported stolen from South Dundas Township, and a Mercedes-Benz, which had been reported stolen from Ajax.

The two vehicles have a combined value of nearly $100,000, officers add.
