"We say it time and time again...we won't slow down on our pursuit against drugs in the city. It's a hard lesson to learn, but we've warned people over and over again that if you're going to deal drugs within the city, you're going to get caught. These are people that were bringing drugs into our community, and we're not going to tolerate it," stated Police Chief Paul Ladouceur.

"It was fantastic teamwork. This was an effort by several police agencies throughout the province, so kudos to them. It just goes to show what we can accomplish when we work together."
