OTTAWA — Police have seized millions in cocaine and hashish and have laid 68 charges against at least six people in a joint operation intended to staunch the flow of drugs from Montreal to Ottawa.
Organized crime units were involved in the yearlong operation, dubbed Project Midnight, the results of which were unveiled Friday morning, the day after police executed 10 warrants in Ottawa, arresting nine people.
Ottawa police, Ontario Provincial Police, RCMP and Montreal police were in on the bust, which netted $2.1 million in cocaine and $330,000 in hashish. Police also seized $430,000 in cash.
Anti-gang units were also involved in the busts, but police said they couldn't link the drug flow to a specific group.
The raids kept 100 kilograms of cocaine from Ottawa's streets last year, police said.
The investigation led Montreal police to make five arrests in Montreal and Laval, Que.
Six Ottawa men face various weapons and drug trafficking charges. Three Montrealers were also arrested while an arrest warrant has been issued for another Ottawa man.
