Illegal guns and drugs seized in the GTA

CTV is reporting that "Halton Regional Police say an investigation into a “high-level drug trafficking network” operating throughout the Greater Toronto Area has resulted in the largest firearms bust in the department’s history. 

"Speaking at a news conference on Tuesday morning, police said 24 firearms were seized in Project Cyprus, a six-month long investigation into a sophisticated and well-organized drug trafficking network."

"Four suspects from Toronto, Mississauga, Richmond Hill, and Oshawa are facing a combined 30 charges in connection with the investigation. All of the weapons seized originated from the United States and were smuggled across the border using various methods, including storing firearms in hidden compartments inside vehicles, police said."

"Nine search warrants were carried out in the GTA on homes and vehicles and police said in addition to the weapons, 20 prohibited large capacity magazines and ammunition were seized. Drugs, including 16.5 kg of cocaine and 16,000 oxycodone tablets, were also seized as part of the investigation." Let's trade the OPP for the CFSEU.

All those illegal guns came from the US. Yeah we know. They didn't come from legal firearm owners in Canada. They smuggled them in from the US because they've never been registered and cant be traced. All legal handguns in Canada are registered. That's why criminals don't use them. They use throw aways that can't be traced. Large drug bust as well. Good work.
