At around 9:45 p.m., officers arrested a 30-year-old suspect at his Dollard-des-Ormeaux home as part of an investigation that began in March. Simultaneous searches carried out in his vehicle and an apartment he was linked to in Dorval resulted in the seizure of two handguns, a rifle, three magazines, various ammunition, cocaine, other narcotics and more than $260,000 in cash.
Around 2 a.m., officers from the SPVM’s ECLIPSE group intercepted a 24-year-old individual walking down the street at the intersection of Stanley and Ste-Catherine Sts. who they found had two loaded handguns in a bag. The man was arrested on the spot.
Suspects are expected to appear at the Montreal courthouse Friday facing multiple charges.
