Sarnia Police Service officials allege: The Sarnia Police Major Case Action Team (MCAT) regularly investigates drug trafficking within the City of Sarnia.
On January 22, 2025, members of MCAT, supported by the SPS Emergency Response Team (ERT) and K9, executed two simultaneous search warrants under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.
One warrant was executed at a London Line Motel, and the second at a residence in the 200 block of London Road.
During the warrant execution at the motel, police found two individuals inside and they were arrested without incident.
A search of the premises resulted in the seizure of:
– 2.71 grams of fentanyl
– 43 oxycodone pills
– 203.29 grams of cocaine
– 1 shotgun with a defaced serial number
– 26 rounds of ammunition
– $1,660 in cash
Upon entry to the London Road residence, a 15-year-old male youth from the GTA attempted to flee out the rear exit and was arrested after a brief foot pursuit.
In order to effect the arrest, use of a conducted energy weapon was necessary.
A search of the youth uncovered:
– $4,435 in cash
– 11 oxycodone pills
A subsequent search of the residence revealed:
– A loaded Glock handgun
– 132.56 grams of cocaine
The total street value of the drugs and cash seized is estimated at $47,073.50.
“This was another excellent investigation by MCAT that safely resulted in more drugs and weapons off our streets,” stated Chief Derek Davis, Sarnia Police Service, in a media release.
“It reflects the serious dangers that drugs and drug trafficking pose to our community and to our officers. We also continue to see that these crimes and offenders frequently transcend municipal borders. We will continue to work collaboratively with our many policing partners as we address these pressing community safety issues.”
A 43-year-old Sarnia woman and a 34-year-old Sarnia resident have been held for bail on multiple charges including:
– Firearm-related offences
– Possession for the purpose of trafficking Schedule I substances
– Possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000
A young person has also been charged with multiple offences and cannot be named pursuant to the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
