Three individuals were arrested as part of this operation led by the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit. They were questioned by investigators and released pending further proceedings. They might later face charges under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, including production and possession of controlled substances for the purpose of trafficking. The investigation is ongoing.

About clandestine laboratories

A clandestine laboratory refers to a secret or concealed location where criminals produce or prepare synthetic drugs, such as methamphetamine. Clandestine labs can be found in a variety of locations, such as homes, garages and warehouses. They pose a great danger not only to those who operate them, but also to neighbours and first responders. If you suspect illegal drug activity in your community, including clandestine labs, drug purchasing or toxic waste dumping, contact your local police service or Crime Stoppers (toll-free) at 1-800-711-1800.
