York Regional Police Insp. Ahmad Salhia says the effort began with a person under investigation for drug trafficking in London, Ont. in Oct. 2021.
He would not say what method was used to get the guns across the river, but said an incident involvingfound in nearby Lambton County in late April is not related to this investigation. Salhia said some of the fentanyl was pressed “to appear like candy – a car a butterfly or a number of other things.”Officers also seized 17 overcapacity magazines for the handguns and 300 rounds of ammunition.Combined they are facing more than 400 criminal code offences.
Police at the news conference commended the work of the Walpole Island First Nation, both its band council and police service, with helping them intercept and track the suspects.

OH MY GOD!!!!! This has never happened before. Whatever shall we do?!
Tell me something I didn’t know. Native reserves are complicit in the smuggling of guns into our great nation.
It’s been well know around police circles that gun smuggling was coming through Indigenous reserves bordering the US. But because it’s Federal, it’s out of their hands. Liberal Govt know where problem exist, they just won’t admit it
Glad they caught it before it hit the streets.
I'm sure this is the first time guns have been smuggled into Canada through First Nations, right? RIGHT?
In context of how natives were treated in the past should they be armed?
So they didn't have their RPALs? Fascinating
