MONTREAL – The RCMP have arrested 16 people attempting to cross the border into Canada near St-Bernard-de-Lacolle, Que., on Friday night.
They say the individuals were part of a group of 18 people, and the two others are still being sought by police.
They say the group was trying to cross the border illegally.
Police declined to comment further in a written statement this morning, as the investigation is ongoing.
The RCMP intercepted a truck near Stanstead, Que., in August that was attempting to bring 44 migrants into Canada.
The individuals in that case were crammed into a truck without ventilation.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Sept. 20, 2025.
