The fight against drug trafficking is intensifying in Mauricie and Centre-du-Québec. The Sûreté du Québec (SQ) and the Abenaki police force conducted searches Tuesday afternoon in Wôlinak and Bécancour.
To put an end to the activities of traffickers in the region, the police carried out several searches, notably in three residences and vehicles on rue des Pins in Wôlinak and on chemin Héon in Bécancour.
