MONTREAL - A huge police operation led by the Sûreté du Québec and involving the RCMP, the Montreal police and other regional squads, is underway at dawn Thursday to crack down on a vast drug operation implicating organized crime across Quebec, Ontario and British Columbia.
Over 1,000 officers armed with 100 arrest warrants are swooping in on 30 towns and cities, including Montreal. The focus of the arrest is trafficking of cocaine and other drugs, said SQ spokesperson Gregory Gomez. He declined to comment on which branch of organized crime was involved.
By 7 a.m., dozens of arrests had taken place and the SPVM operations centres were kept hopping with a steady stream of squad cars bringing more people in to be processed.
In Laval, 70 uniformed officers were involved as well as both S.W.A.T. teams in the 21 arrest warrants for that region said Laval police spokesperson Franco DiGenova.
The SQ will be holding a press conference at 2 p.m. to explain the process and the results of this latest investigation.
