RCMP dismantles dark web drug trafficking operation, charges 7 people | CBC News
"The RCMP executed several search warrants, which led to the seizure of 75 kilograms of various narcotics, including cocaine, MDMA, meth, heroin and ketamine, it said in a news release Thursday. Police also seized 10,000 prescription and non-prescription pills, electronic devices and drug distribution materials, including "RoadRunna" branded packaging. According to the news release, data analytics found that "RoadRunna" is a sophisticated Canadian criminal enterprise that shipped approximately 400 packages weekly across the country."
"The multi-agency investigation, primarily conducted by the RCMP's serious and organized crime unit in Milton, Ont., started when German authorities took down a dark web marketplace and contacted the RCMP to make them aware of several Canadian-based users. The dark web is an encrypted and hidden interface, which is not accessible by common search engines, the RCMP said in the news release."
