"The Royal Canadian Mounted Police say they have arrested three people and seized nearly $10 million worth of synthetic opioids in a large-scale drug lab investigation. In a news release Friday, police said the operation also led them to $8,000 in cash, firearms and various chemical precursors estimated to help in the production of millions of dollars' worth of drugs. The RCMP said they first started the investigation in the spring, after a man placed a suspicious order of chemicals through his business."
"By July, police had identified the three people suspected of manufacturing the drugs in a lab located in Schomberg, Ont. During a search on Sept. 7, police say they found a pill press, drug recipes, flasks and chemical glassware used to aid in the production of the illicit substances. The drugs seized include MDMA, methamphetamine and GHB, police said. The three people arrested are facing a total of 33 charges, ranging from production and trafficking of substances to unlawful possession of firearms."
