Default Gang raids in Canada - 67 search warrants

This stuff is just starting to come out, this morning. Seems to be related to street gangs, gun smuggling, drugs, prostitution, assaults, attempted murder.....

Massive police sting leads to arrests across Canada

A joint investigation involving Toronto police has led to dozens of arrests during a series of pre-dawn raids across Canada early Tuesday morning.

Toronto police said more than 900 police officers, including 400 heavily-armed tactical officers, were involved in simultaneous raids in Toronto, London, Hamilton, Durham, York and Peel regions, Windsor, Ottawa, Calgary and Surrey, B.C.

In all, police executed 67 search warrants as part of a sting dubbed Project Marvel, which targeted organized crime.

Charges against the suspects include attempted murder, firearms trafficking/importation, drug trafficking, robbery, shooting offences and prostitution offences, but police haven't said how many people were arrested.

Some of the suspects are accused of smuggling firearms across the Canada-U.S. border.

Toronto police are expected to release more information at a news conference at 3 p.m.

The investigation was launched last May by the Toronto police integrated gun and gang task force, in partnership with London Police Service, Waterloo Regional Police Service and Ontario Provincial Police, but it quickly expanded to other communities.

As police dug deeper, the investigation spread to Windsor, Hamilton, Peel region, York region, Durham region, Ottawa, Renfrew, Sask., Calgary, Edmonton, Ford McMurray, Alta., and Vancouver.

About 20 police agencies were involved in the operation, in addition to members of Canada Border Services Agency and the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).


Though knowing you folks, you'd rather discuss this story....
