An Ontario police force has brought in the “largest” drug seizure in its history, ending in 12 arrests and 44 charges.
In a statement issued Wednesday, the Halton Regional Police Service (HRPS) said Project Icarus has come to a close. For the investigation, the HRPS worked in collaboration with the Criminal Intelligence Service Ontario, Peel Regional Police and the Canada Border Services Agency.
The investigation began with one suspect in October 2020.
Police seized more than 1,000 kilograms of cannabis in bulk, edible and resin forms, along with 27 kilograms of cocaine and 15 kilograms of ecstasy. Officers also located illicit opioids, which included half a kilogram of fentanyl, oxycodone and morphine.
Guns were found and seized, including one .40-calibre Glock handgun, one 9mm-Glock handgun, prohibited magazines, one 12-gauge shotgun and 1,100 rounds of ammunition.
More than $100,000 in cash was discovered and confiscated, as was jewelry and three vehicles.
