Halton police have arrested six people for drug and gun trafficking following early morning raids last week.

Police seized $65,000 worth of drugs and weapons from different residences in Toronto and Brampton. The drugs seized were marijuana and cocaine. Three firearms, cash and three vehicles were also taken.

Police say the suspects were involved in trafficking drugs and firearms into the Halton region. They say this bust will have major impact, especially in a small community.

Nishan Duraiappah of Halton police: “I would say that street level drug activity impacts our community most notably at greater levels. The reason is it’s based on individual addictions which impact families, communities and have secondary crimes related to it.”

108 Charges were laid.
