A 43-year-old man was arrested on Tuesday June 25 following a police operation carried out in the Salaberry-de-Valleyfield area.
The intervention carried out by police officers from the MRC de Vaudreuil-Soulange est, assisted by colleagues from the regional mixed squad, resulted in drug searches in a residence as well as a vehicle.
These searches targeted a narcotics sales network at the address searched, mentions the SQ in a press release. The 43-year-old man arrested could face charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking and drug trafficking. This is the occupant of the premises.
During these searches, the police seized:
• More than 20 grams of cocaine

• A small amount of heroin
• Contraband cigarettes
• A small amount hashish
• A long, high-velocity pellet gun
• More than $6,200 in cash

The searches carried out on Friday stem from an investigation started a few months ago in the Salaberry-de-Valleyfield sector by local police officers. A dozen police officers and investigators from the Sûreté du Québec and the regional mixed squad took part in this operation.
The Sûreté du Québec reminds that any information relating to the trafficking or production of narcotics can be communicated at any time, confidentially, to the Criminal Information Center of the Sûreté du Québec at 1 800 659-4264.
