---Police seize fentanyl in Aylmer drug bust 

As part of an operation aimed at taking down fentanyl trafficking operations in the city, Gatineau Police (SPVG) arrested eight local drug dealers on November 26, following raids at four Aylmer residences. According to a press release issued by the SPVG on November 27, police started investigating the matter a couple of weeks ago after receiving information about it from the public.

Led by the SPVG’s canine and tactical intervention units, police raided the following four addresses: 70 rue du Madiran, 87 rue Front, apt. A, 57 boulevard de Lucerne, and 10 rue du Patrimoine, apt. B.

Five of the perpetrators are men and three are women. They have all been released under condition to appear in court, noting that drug dealing charges will be filed with the Director of criminal and penal prosecutions. Along with a “small quantity of fentanyl”, $1,250 in Canadian cash, and various drug dealing paraphernalia, police seized 226.7 grams of methamphetamine, 115 grams of cocaine, 1,000 tablets of speed, 237.7 grams of illegal weed, 28 grams of hash, 20.7 grams of psilocybin mushrooms, more than 100 baggies of edibles, and three grams of wax.

The press release stated that police also seized a few weapons, including a Taser, a machete, a pellet gun, and some ammunition. It added that the SPVG collaborated with the Service de la sécurité public de la MRC des Collines-de-l’Outaouais in another drug bust in Val des Monts, at 223 chemin de la Promenade.
