Canada busts up drug ring, arrest more than a hundred

More than a thousand police officers from the Surete du Quebec, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and several local police forces were involved in the dawn raids in 30 towns and cities in British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec provinces.

They nabbed 103 out of 128 suspects in the ongoing investigation, seized CA$225,000 (US$225,860) in cash, as well drug tablets, cannabis, cocaine and ingredients for a so-called date-rape drug. A court also froze assets worth CA$1.2 million.

Police said the criminal group distributed 75 kilograms (165 pounds) of cocaine per week, and sold CA$50 million worth of drugs just in the last six months.
