A 42-year-old man is facing drug trafficking charges after Sarnia Police seized more than $300,000 worth of drugs and over $151,000 in cash during raids across the city on September 16, 2026.

The Sarnia Police Service Drug and Intelligence Unit, assisted by the Emergency Response Team and K9 Unit, executed multiple search warrants as part of an investigation that began in summer 2026 and focused on drug trafficking in Sarnia. Officers recovered approximately four kilograms of crystal methamphetamine, one kilogram of cocaine, prescription hydromorphone pills, 120 oxycodone tablets, and $151,452 in cash, along with drug trafficking paraphernalia.

Robinson faces five charges under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act: possession of cocaine, methamphetamine, and oxycodone for the purpose of trafficking, possession of hydromorphone, and possession of proceeds of crime over $5,000.

Robinson remains in custody and is scheduled to appear in court by video from jail. The Sarnia Police Service described the seizure as significant, estimating the street value of the controlled substances at more than $300,000.
