On June 18, 2026, North Bay police executed a series of arrests as part of an ongoing investigation into suspected drug trafficking activities within the community. The operation led to the arrest of two individuals: a 26-year-old man from Milton, Ontario, and a 28-year-old local woman. Both were apprehended on charges related to drug trafficking.
The North Bay Police Service’s street crime unit initiated this probe in spring 2026 after receiving intelligence regarding illegal drug distribution within the area. The arrests followed a search warrant executed at a residence located in the 500 block of McNamara Street, where officers discovered quantities of suspected fentanyl, crack cocaine, and crystal methamphetamine.
In addition to the three counts of drug trafficking each suspect faces, the male accused was also charged with possession of proceeds from crime. Both individuals were held in custody pending a bail hearing scheduled for later this week.
Insp. Scott McFarlane of the North Bay Police Service emphasized the ongoing commitment of law enforcement to combat illegal drugs and maintain public safety: “Our officers are working tirelessly to disrupt drug trafficking networks that threaten our community.” The police service highlighted the significant impact these activities have on local quality of life, underscoring their dedication to addressing such issues.
