Four Arrested In Drug Bust

Four people face drug trafficking charges following a bust by Sarnia police last Thursday.

The Sarnia Police Vice Unit, COPPS Unit and the Criminal Investigation Branch executed a search warrant at a home in the 200-block of Russell St. just before 10pm.

Officers seized approximately 6 g of cocaine, 28 g of methamphetamine, 2.5 Fentanyl patches, hydromorphone pills and about 1.3 g of heroin with a total street value of $7,870.

Officers also seized over $4,000 in cash.

Three Sarnia women, Chantel Angela George, 30, Shelley Lynn Joseph, 44, and Melissa Ann Peters, 29, were all charged with five counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking.

A Sarnia man, Leslie William Hawkins, 40, was also charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking and breaching his recognizance.

Peters has since been released, while the other three were being held for bail hearings.
