One arrested in downtown drug investigation
The Windsor Police Service has arrested one suspect and seized over $53,000 in illicit drugs. In August 2023, members of our Drugs and Guns Enforcement Unit (DIGS) launched an investigation into a male suspect believed to be trafficking drugs out of a downtown residence. Investigators applied for and were granted a Controlled Drug and Substance Act warrant for the residence.
On August 31, 2023, our Emergency Services Unit (ESU) executed the warrant at the residence, located in the 300 block of Glengarry Ave. Officers seized 209.5 grams of fentanyl, 14 grams of cocaine, and a small amount of crystal methamphetamine. They also recovered $5,835 in Canadian and U.S. currency, dog spray, and four digital scales.
The suspect, 29-year-old Sakyrie Hirsi, was located and arrested in the 200 block of Erie Street E. He has been charged with five counts of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking.
