A joint law enforcement operation involving federal and local authorities resulted in the seizure of a significant quantity of narcotics and the arrest of a 37-year-old man in Martinsburg, West Virginia, according to the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office.
Investigators with the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division executed a search warrant at a residence located at 487 Universe Drive at approximately 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, January 8. The operation was conducted in collaboration with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and the Martinsburg Police Department Detective Bureau.

During the search, authorities reportedly recovered a diverse array of controlled substances. The seizure included large amounts of cocaine, methamphetamine, marijuana, cocaine base, Xanax bars, psilocybin mushrooms, ecstasy tablets, and anabolic steroids, as detailed in the official police report.
Sharnjeet Amar Singh was taken into custody at the scene. According to law enforcement records, Singh was arrested on an outstanding warrant issued by the Martinsburg City Police Department for possession with intent to deliver a Schedule I/II narcotic, stemming from a separate incident in December 2025. Following his arrest, he was remanded to the Eastern Regional Jail in lieu of a $50,000 cash or surety bond.
Procedural Next Steps
