Durham Regional Police say a 72-year-old Whitby man has been charged with several drug-related offences after an investigation in Whitby.
In November 2026, investigators received information that a man was trafficking drugs in Whitby, police say. On November 4, 2026, investigators executed a search warrant at a residence in the area of Mary Street East and Hickory Street North.
During the search, officers seized a quantity of drugs, including cocaine, MDMA, GHB, ketamine, oxycodone, Adderall, heroin and methamphetamine, as well as Canadian currency, police say.
The accused was located and taken into custody without incident, police say.
Robert Talbot, 72, of Whitby, is charged with eight counts of possession of a Schedule I substance for the purpose of trafficking and possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000. He was held for a bail hearing.
The allegations have yet to be proven in court. Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact Det. Obront of the DRPS at 905-579-1520 ext. 2562.
