Police found a firearm and several rounds of ammunition through a search of the teenager and vehicle.
The 17-year-old boy is facing several numerous charges including possession of a firearm contrary to prohibition order, possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000 and dangerous driving.
The 40-year-old woman is facing several charges including flight from a peace officer and possession of firearm contrary to prohibition order.
