The Sûreté du Québec intervened this Monday in Sept-Îles following an attack in a home located on rue Bissot.
The police were called on September 30 around 5:00 a.m. According to information provided by the SQ, a suspect broke into a home and attacked one of the residents before fleeing on foot. The man in question suffered injuries.
Two suspects were finally arrested: a man and a woman. A search of the latter’s home on Allard Street led to the seizure of nearly 4,000 methamphetamine tablets, $3,000, a firearm and drug sales equipment.
The suspects will appear today at the Sept-Îles courthouse.
The woman could face charges of breaking and entering, assault and possession of a weapon, while the man could be charged with illegal possession of a firearm.
The Sûreté du Québec specifies that this operation is part of the CENTAURE strategy to combat organized crime and armed violence in Quebec.
