DRYDEN — A 19-year-old has been arrested after a carjacking incident.

Provincial police said officers responded to a robbery on Third Street in Dryden around 6 a.m. Friday.

Police said the victim was forced out of the vehicle by armed suspects, who then drove away in the vehicle. The victim, while shaken up, was not injured.

The vehicle was found a short time later on Government Street and the individual driving it was arrested.

Police did not provide further details about the types of weapons that were used, or whether additional suspects are being sought.

Emily Howarth is charged with robbery with a weapon, possession of property obtained by crime, and failing to comply with conditions of a release order.

Howarth remains in custody and is expected to appear in a Dryden court on Tuesday.

The charges have yet to be tested in court.
