Ontario keeps making record Drugs busts, BC doesn't

CTV is reporting that "Nearly 500 kilograms of cocaine was seized and nine people are in custody following a year-long probe into a group of alleged drug traffickers who police say used commercial trucks to smuggle cocaine across the U.S. border into Canada." Again.

"The investigation, dubbed Project Pelican, led to the largest drug seizure in the police service’s history, Peel Police Chief Nishan Duraiappah told reporters at a news conference."

The Ottawa Citizen is reporting that "Ontario Provincial Police announced Tuesday the seizure of more than 27 kilograms and thousands of tablets of 37 different illegal drugs and prescription medication destined to be shipped across Canada through courier services and Canada Post."

"Officers seized weapons, ammunition, $95,000 in currency, a stolen Ferrari valued at $400,000 and an estimated value of $2.5 million in illegal drugs, including fentanyl, ketamine and MDMA, also known as Ecstasy."

"On March 27, police conducted another search and recovered 11 more stolen vehicles with an estimated combined worth of $730,000. It was unclear exactly where these vehicles were recovered. Four individuals were arrested and charged in connection with the investigation."

Global is reporting that "OPP say officers seized more 43 kg of fentanyl, along with large quantities of other drugs like meth and cocaine, as a result of two recent large-scale investigations."

"Given all the rhetoric flowing from south of the border, Carrique made certain to note that the fentanyl was for distribution in Canada. 'At this time, there is no indication that the fentanyl seized through these investigations was destined for exportation to the United States or any other country,' he offered."
