Denis said more than 80 officers were involved in the raids that were conducted as part of an ongoing investigation and that no arrests are expected.
“This drug trafficking network is mainly active in the Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Montreal and Outaouais areas and directly linked to members of the Hells Angels,” he said.
Denis explained that ENRCO’s mandate is to specifically target the head of organized crime. The squad is made up of officers from various police forces including the SQ, the RCMP, as well as Montreal, Quebec City and Laval.
