A six figure, six month under-cover investigation involving 15 police officers from different forces around the Province has concluded. ""Operation Portland"" netted City Police $29,000 dollars in drugs, $5,000 cash and $5,000 dollars worth of weapons including several rifles, a shot-gun and stun guns. Deputy Chief Darrell Scribner says this is all about making the quality of life for several home-owners much better.
The charges also include liquor offences at three bars along Union Street. 48 people have been arrested, 33 have or will appear in court or are locked up. Sargeant John Wilcox, head of the Street Crime Unit says those we didn't get this time, we will next.
