Many police officers landed Friday morning to start the dismantling of a underground laboratory for the production of methamphetamine which operated directly in front of the town hall of the municipality of Pike River, in Montérégie.
According to our information, when the police presented themselves in the illegal facilities, five compressed presses were in office, in full production.

The operation started early in the morning, on the grounds of a UNIFAMILIAL RESIGN OF ROUTE 202, opposite the town hall of Municpality and a children’s park.
Thirty police officers from the mixed regional squad (ERM) of Montérégie were particularly interested in an imposing garage detached from the residence.

It is inside this building that everything would be found to make synthetic drugs.
“This operation has arisen from an investigation started in recent months and aims to collect elements of evidence for the rest of the investigation,” the authorities said by press release.

Two people have been arrested and will be met by investigators in the coming hours. They do not face any accusation at the moment.
Friday morning, investigators, a dog handler, technicians in legal identity, explosive technicians and a team specializing in dismantles of clandestine laboratories were on site to carry out this important operation.
This is the second intervention in similar material to occur in the region since the beginning of the week.
Police from the Royal Canadian Gendarmerie have dismantled in the last days an important clandestine methamphetamine production laboratory inside a Bromont storage unit.

Several hundred thousand drugs of narcotics were seized and three people were arrested in this case.
However, there would be no link between the dismantling of Bromont and that of Pike River.
