Cannabis raids in N.S., N.B., Ontario tied to transnational organized crime, RCMP say

FREDERICTON — The RCMP say several raids last month across three provinces were linked to a wider investigation involving transnational organized crime.

However, police did not give details about the operation in their statement Thursday to The Canadian Press.

They said RCMP carried out several search warrants on April 26 in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Hamilton.

A spokesperson said the searches were part of an investigation targeting organized crime, drug trafficking and money laundering.
