drugs seizedShortly after 9:05 a.m. on July 8, 2025, officers were dispatched to the area of Notre Dame Avenue at King Street in relation to a suspicious vehicle and persons. The complainant stated that there were a group of individuals in the laneway, who were believed to be selling drugs and armed with a firearm. Officers were provided with a description of the vehicle and individuals believed to be involved.

Officers arrived in the area and located the vehicle matching the description. When the driver and occupants saw the marked police cruiser, the driver immediately drove out of the parking lot. Officers conducted a traffic stop on Notre Dame Avenue where it was confirmed that the individuals inside the vehicle matched the descriptions of those believed to be selling drugs and armed with a gun.
