Two Cobourg residents are facing charges as a result of proactive drug enforcement in the Town of Cobourg.
On November 4, 2026, as part of ongoing enforcement efforts related to open air drug use, possession, and trafficking in the Town of Cobourg, members of the Cobourg Police Service (CPS) Street Crime Enforcement Unit were conducting an investigation targeting individuals engaged in the possession of controlled drugs and substances in the area of Covert Street and Division Street in Cobourg.
With the assistance of the CPS Canine Unit and Uniform Patrol, an arrest was executed after two people were observed to be engaged in behaviour that was deemed to be unsafe in the presence of a child.
As a result of the investigation, a 49-year-old Cobourg man and a 43-year-old Cobourg woman were arrested and charged with Possession of a Schedule I Substance and Fail to Provide Necessaries of Life.
The woman was further charged with Fail to Comply with a Probation Order. Both were held for a bail hearing.
