A “significant blow” has been dealt to a “dangerous street gang,” following an eight-month investigation that led to dozens of arrests across the GTA, Toronto police chief Mark Saunders said. Officers executed warrants in Toronto and Hamilton, as well as York, Halton, Durham and Peel regions, and arrested 37 people Thursday morning. “Our investigators are confident that this project has effectively disrupted and dealt a significant blow to the hierarchy and the operations of this gang,” Saunders said. Saunders said in addition to fentanyl trafficking, the organization was allegedly involved in numerous shootings. This information will include details on the quantity of drugs seized, Saunders said.
