On March 18, 2026, the Sarnia Police Service arrested a man and seized three firearms after responding to a verbal argument at a home on Nelson Street in Sarnia, Ontario. Officers were originally called to the residence to look into a dispute between partners, though no criminal charges were laid regarding the argument itself.
While investigating the initial call, police saw guns inside the home and determined the resident did not have a valid licence to own them. After securing the house and getting a search warrant, officers took away two handguns, a rifle, and ammunition.
An adult male faces three charges for possessing a firearm without authorization. Police have not released the name of the man to protect the privacy of the other person involved in the dispute.
This seizure is part of a recent trend in Sarnia throughout the first few months of 2026. Local officers have frequently encountered weapons while responding to calls involving disputes between partners.
