Police in Sarnia, Ontario, have concluded a significant investigation with a major drug and weapons bust, netting hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of illicit substances and multiple firearms.
Major Haul in December Raid
In December 2025, the Sarnia Police Service executed operations under Project Bullpen. The result was the seizure of a substantial quantity of cocaine with an estimated street value of $410,000. Alongside the drugs, officers also confiscated multiple firearms and a sum of cash.
Charges Laid Against Suspects

While the police have not disclosed the exact number of people charged at this time, the charges are related to possession for the purpose of trafficking and weapons offenses.
The seizure of firearms highlights the often-violent nature of high-level drug trafficking networks and the associated risks to public safety. The removal of these weapons from the streets is a key outcome for local law enforcement.
Impact on Local Community
