Longueuil police executed out a number of search warrants Tuesday morning in connection with a suspected drug trafficking ring on the south shore and in Montreal.
Officers raided five buildings located in Longueuil, Carignan, Chambly and on the Island of Montreal.
Longueuil police spokesperson Éric Courcy says operation “Specter,” which started in March, is targeting and dismantling a methamphetamine and cocaine selling network.
This is the second phase of the investigation, with the first one carried out earlier in June.
Courcy said 75 police officers were involved in the latest drug raids.
