As part of ongoing crime suppression efforts, Waterloo Regional Police have arrested two wanted males and laid drug-related charges following a search warrant in Cambridge.

On June 12, 2025, members of WRPS’ Direct Action Response Team (DART) located and arrested two wanted individuals in the Preston area of Cambridge. The first, a 38-year-old male from Kitchener, was wanted on four warrants for offences including break and enter, failing to attend court, and failing to comply with a release order. The second, a 33-year-old male from Cambridge, was wanted by the Stratford Police Service on three outstanding warrants.

DART investigators subsequently completed a Controlled Drugs and Substances Act warrant at a residence on King Street East in Cambridge on June 13, 2025. Police seized drugs, including suspected fentanyl, methamphetamine, cocaine, oxycodone, and hydromorphone. Weapons, including an improvised conducted energy weapon (CEW), a replica rifle, and pepper spray, were seized.

As a result of the investigation, the two males were charged with additional offences, including:

• Possession for the purpose of trafficking (five counts)
• Careless use of a firearm (four counts)
• Possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose (two counts)

The accused parties were held in police custody for a bail hearing.
