- 97 g suspected fentanyl
- 101 g suspected cocaine
- 182 x codeine pills

A 54-year-old Sarnia man faces nine charges including four trafficking charges. A 49-year-old Sarnia man also faces four trafficking charges and a charge of careless use of a fire arm. Both have been released to appear in court at a later date.
This investigation is ongoing.
