19 charged in Toronto GTA drug bust Project Vickery
A major drug bust this week seized more than $2.1 million worth of drugs and cash and saw 19 people arrested in the GTA.
Multiple search warrants were executed Wednesday as part of Project Vickery — a collaboration between the Durham Regional Police and the RCMP —which has been targeting drug traffickers since the fall of 2018.
Search warrants were executed at 15 residences in Durham, Toronto, Peel Region and Kingston. All the arrests occurred without incident and there were no injuries, Durham cops say.
Investigators seized more than $600,000 in cash, four firearms and five vehicles as proceeds of crime, and $1.5 million in drugs which included fentanyl, cocaine, methamphetamine and heroin.
The 19 people arrested are facing more than 148 charges. Police said their names will be released at a later date.
