The Mounties bust cannabis traffickers, producers north of Montreal
SAINT-JEROME, Que. – The RCMP says it has struck a blow against a cannabis trafficking and production ring north of Montreal.
About 90 police officers made eight arrests and 14 seizures this morning in nine different towns in the Laurentian region.
Police allege the organized group was able to produce dozens of kilograms of marijuana on a weekly basis.
The RCMP says six rented homes and one commercial property serving as indoor grow-ops were raided as part of the operation.
Police say one of the residences served as a processing and packaging plant for the product.
The suspects in this case are facing charges that include gangsterism as well as possession and production of marijuana.
The RCMP is working with a number of local police forces on the case.
