On November 16, the SPVM announced that the Organized Crime Section "put an end last Thursday to the activities of traffickers suspected of selling narcotics mixed with fentanyl."

We're told by the SPVM that "The suspects were active in the Rosemont, Plateau Mont-Royal and South Central sectors of Montréal" and they're believed to have been "linked to several cases of opioid overdoses that occurred in different sectors of the city."

The investigation is said to have begun last September when someone in the city informed Info-Crime Montréal "that an individual in the Rosemont neighbourhood was selling narcotics."
