Sarnia police say they've shut down an infamous "trap house" in the city's south end that was the subject of a YouTube video earlier this year.
Police said the video, released in January, features a group of young men boasting about drug trafficking in Sarnia while flaunting large amounts of cash.
On August 25, at around 9 p.m., members of the Emergency Response Team (ERT), Major Case Action Team (MCAT), and K9 (PSD Vader) executed a search warrant at a residence on Tecumseh Street and arrested four people.
