Montreal Police (SPVM) arrested two suspects aged 36 and 41 last week during a major drug trafficking operation deployed in the borough of Pierrefonds-Roxboro and the municipality of Terrasse-Vaudreuil. Searches were carried out at the residences of the two suspects, as well as in a business run by one of them.

Officers seized various quantities of street and illegally-obtained pharmaceutical drugs including; cocaine, 2C-B, ketamine, methamphetamine (tablets), methamphetamine in crystals, isotonitazene, amphetamines, fentanyl, cannabis, hashish, Cialis/Viagra, psilocybin and THC jujubes. The total value of the drugs seized was estimated at over half a million dollars.

The searches also led to the seizure of two vehicles, luxury accessories, 1 kilo of gold and nearly $20,000 in cash. The two suspects remained in custody while waiting for their arraignment at the Montreal courthouse to face multiple drug charges scheduled for November 17.

The investigation was a collaborative effort by the ÉCLIPSE squad, the ACCESS and proceeds of crime section, neighbourhood station 3 (L’Île-Bizard, Pierrefonds, Sainte-Geneviève, Roxboro) and the Sûreté du Québec. n
