Three Scarborough men face charges after making a seemingly unwise decision.

At a R.I.D.E. check in St. Paul's Sunday afternoon OPP officers were asked by a driver for directions to Toronto.

During their conversation, an officer saw some marijuana inside the vehicle. 

After a search police also found some cocaine.

All three men have been charged with possession.

That same day police also seized marijuana from another vehicle in St. Pauls, which resulted in a possession charge, and from a vehicle at a R.I.D.E check in Listowel.

The two people at the Listowel checkpoint were charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking.

If you're out on the roads today take note,

Perth Road 122 between Lines 15 and 16 in Perth South is closed until further notice.

There's bridge work going on in the area.

Please adjust your route accordingly.
