Waterloo Regional Police Service's South Division Crime Suppression, Analysis, and Response (CSAR) Unit has completed a targeted enforcement project focused on illegal drug activity in Cambridge's downtown cores.

As part of an ongoing initiative to address community concerns and improve public safety in the Galt and Preston downtown areas, members of the South Division CSAR Unit conducted a two-day enforcement project during the week of October 25, 2026.

During the initiative, officers seized quantities of methamphetamine and fentanyl, as well as drug paraphernalia and a prohibited knife.

Five individuals were arrested during the enforcement project. One individual was charged with Possession of a Prohibited Weapon and Possession of a Controlled Substance. Officers also provided information about available addiction and social service resources.

Waterloo Regional Police continue to work proactively to address community concerns, disrupt illegal drug activity, and enhance safety for residents, businesses, and visitors in Cambridge's downtown areas.
