Cobourg police say a local man is facing drug-related charges after being arrested for breaching the conditions of a release order.
On Oct. 28, 2025, at about 7 p.m., officers on routine patrol in downtown Cobourg observed a man wanted for violating his release conditions, reported police.
The accused was taken into custody without incident. During the arrest, police allege they found about 15.64 grams of suspected fentanyl, 5.5 grams of suspected cocaine and a quantity of cash.
