The Halton Regional Police Service recently concluded two separate drug trafficking investigations in Burlington, resulting in several arrests and the seizure of drugs, weapons, and stolen property.
On March 23, 2026, officers arrested 42-year-old Trevor Herdman of Burlington. The investigation began in February after police learned someone was using Canada Post to ship cocaine. Following an investigation, police searched a home and vehicles associated with Herdman, where they found 13 grams of cocaine, a crossbow, a stolen pickup truck, fake Ontario licence plates, and about 70,000 illegal cigarettes.
At the time of his arrest, Herdman was already on federal statutory release for past drug trafficking and stolen property convictions. He has been charged with multiple offences, including trafficking a controlled substance, possession of property obtained by crime, tampering with a vehicle identification number, and trafficking contraband tobacco. He was held in custody to await a bail hearing in Milton.
In a separate operation on March 18, 2026, the police service’s 3 District Street Crime Unit arrested three other Burlington men following an investigation that started in January. David Evans, 26, Yahya Dhiblawe, 25, and Jahlique Adamo-Armstrong, 24, were charged after police seized approximately 300 grams of cocaine, 5 grams of fentanyl, and over $15,000 in cash.
