Police officers from the Sûreté du Québec (SQ) got their hands on large quantities of drugs during a search that took place in a dwelling on boulevard Dequen, in Dolbeau-Mistassini, on Wednesday.
Inside the apartment, officers seized cannabis, methamphetamine, hashish and ecstasy, among other things. The police investigation made it possible to rule that the narcotics were intended for minors.
The tenant, a 21-year-old man, was arrested. He will face charges of drug possession and trafficking. He was released pending his appearance.
The police operation took place within the framework of the ACCES-Cannabis program, whose mission is to reduce the accessibility of illicit cannabis on the Quebec market, particularly among young people. The objective is also to reduce unfair competition from illegal producers and traffickers towards the Société québécoise du cannabis (SQDC).
