Several people are facing drug-related charges after a warrant was executed at a Cobourg residence, say police.

According to the Cobourg Police Service, on Oct. 16, 2026, as part of a drug-trafficking investigation, members of the service’s street crime enforcement unit, alongside members of the canine unit and uniform patrol, executed a search warrant at a local residence.

As a result of the probe, police allege they seized “a quantity of fentanyl” and “a quantity of cocaine,” in addition to Canadian currency, scales, cellphones, prohibited knives and prohibited weapons.

Police said the investigation led to a 33-year-old Cobourg woman, a 50-year-old Cobourg man, and a 34-year-old Baltimore man, all charged with possession of a schedule I substance – fentanyl, and possession of a schedule I substance – cocaine. The two men were further charged with failure to comply with probation, added police.

A fourth individual – a 34-year-old Cobourg man – was also charged with two counts of possession of a schedule I substance – fentanyl, two counts of possession of a schedule I substance – cocaine, possession of proceeds of crime under $5,000, possession of a prohibited weapon, carrying a concealed weapon, three counts of possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, three counts of failure to comply with probation, and failure to comply with a prohibition order.

None of these charges have been proven in court.

Cobourg police continue to ask residents if they witness suspicious activity or suspected drug activity to contact CPS. Timely reporting can help police identify emerging trends, support ongoing investigations, and ensure resources are deployed where they are needed, said the service.
