Toronto police conducted a significant cocaine bust, seizing over 835 kilograms valued at approximately $83 million. Chief Myron Demkiw emphasized that this operation not only prevents violence but also dismantles dangerous criminal networks, improving city safety. The investigation, dubbed Project Castillo, was a joint effort involving the Toronto police drug squad, York police, Canada Border Services Agency, and RCMP. It began last August and led to the arrest of six individuals, including two Mexican nationals. Allegations link the bust to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, highlighting the operation's impact on organized crime in Canada.
Taking these drugs off our streets prevents violence, protects lives, and dismantles dangerous criminal networks.
The results of Project Castillo have struck a significant blow to organized crime while reducing the harm these drugs cause in neighbourhoods across Canada.
