Bust in Sorel-Tracy: Drug Trafficking Ring Dismantled
Sorel-Tracy, QC - In a major blow to the local drug trade, the Sûreté du Québec (SQ) has successfully dismantled a significant drug trafficking operation in Sorel-Tracy. The operation, dubbed "Project Vortex," culminated in a series of coordinated raids on Tuesday, resulting in the arrest of five individuals suspected of being involved in the distribution of various illegal substances.
**The investigation, which spanned several months, targeted a network believed to be responsible for trafficking cocaine, methamphetamine, and marijuana throughout the region.

This led to the identification of key players within the operation and the gathering of crucial evidence to secure warrants for their arrest. **
The suspects, whose ages range from 22 to 45, face a variety of charges related to drug trafficking and possession. Police seized a significant amount of drugs, cash, and weapons during the raids, including firearms and ammunition.

The SQ is urging anyone with information about drug trafficking to come forward and report it. **
This operation showcases the SQ's commitment to combating organized crime and protecting the safety of communities throughout Quebec. The successful takedown of this drug ring sends a clear message: drug trafficking will not be tolerated in Sorel-Tracy or any other part of the province.
