Summary
York Regional Police pulled off a massive bust, seizing over $3.4 million worth of illegal cannabis in a coordinated crackdown targeting a regional trafficking network. The operation began May 15th with the arrest of the main suspect and a raid on a Markham home yielding cash, weed, and suspected crystal meth. Investigators then identified additional players, hitting two more Markham locations and a Toronto warehouse, recovering more than 1,300 pounds of cannabis and 30 jars of oil. Five Markham residents now face charges for trafficking, with one, Tien Chen, also charged for possession of other substances. This is a major win for law enforcement, dismantling what they believe was a highly active distribution ring. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
