Unfortunately the scourge of Fentanyl (opioids) and other drugs continue to affect out City. Due to this, members of the Sarnia Police Service and its Vice Unit continue their battle.
As part of an ongoing investigation officers from the Sarnia Police Service Vice Unit conducted a takedown of a female in the area of Trudeau Drive and Finch Drive and arrested the female for possession for the purpose of trafficking fentanyl. This took place on March 29, 2019, at approximately 2:50 pm.
