Hamilton police say an 18-month initiative to crackdown on individuals with outstanding warrants across the region has led to over 1,000 arrests.
Project KORA (Keeping Offenders Responsible and Accountable) kicked off in April 2022 with the primary objective of seeking to reduce the number of wanted individuals in the surrounding community.
Some 300 additional charges were laid during the campaign that sought offenders wanted for property, victim, drug and weapon-related crimes.
Fentanyl, methamphetamine, cocaine, and illegal oxycodone pills were just some of the drugs confiscated.
Recovered weapons included several handguns, brass knuckles, hatchets, knives, pellet guns, a crossbow, a taser, and even throwing stars.
