Two 17-year-olds from Columbus were arrested Monday for drug and firearms charges and were taken to Wood County Juvenile Detention Center.

At 12:04 a.m., Bowling Green Police Division dispatch advised of a license plate reader hit a stolen license plate heading westbound from Interstate 75.

The plate was later confirmed stolen through Columbus Police Department.

Police found the vehicle unoccupied in the Fricker’s parking lot in the 2100 block of East Wooster Street, according to the police report.

Also, in the trunk was a .223 magazine with 18 rounds in it and a Barska rifle scope.

The suspects were transported to the police station for interviews.
