Multiple media sources are reporting a major bust in the Outaouais.
The region-wide initiative was coordinated between the Surete du Quebec and Gatineau Police, and involved over 16 raids in Gatineau, Kazabazua, Fort Coulonge, and Saint Lin-Laurentides.
Officers seized nearly 3.5 kg of cocaine, more than $82,000 in cash, seven vehicles, a loaded handgun, a tazer, a bulletproof vest, brass knuckles, 10 cell phones, and a variety of drug paraphernalia.
Seven men ages 26 to 56 and one 42-year-old woman were arrested and released on a promise to appear.
Police say their investigation began back in October 2020 following a number of tips.
The suspects are linked to the Devil’s Ghosts motorcycle gang.
