MONTREAL – The RCMP say they have made two more arrests in a cocaine trafficking investigation dating back to June 2023.
Project Camelot, a joint operation with police in Longueuil, Que., involved an investigation into an alleged conspiracy to transport cocaine on a seaplane from the Montreal and Toronto areas to St. John’s, N.L.
Federal officials say that an accused was arrested on Friday in Mexico and will remain in custody while awaiting extradition to Canada.
Another co-accused, a woman, was arrested in the U.S. last year and returned to Canada on Dec. 30.
In August, the RCMP announced the arrests of two other men, one in Santiago, Chile, and another in Mississauga, Ont.
Police initially arrested the first of the five suspects in June 2023.
The RCMP said at that time that they had seized the aircraft, 10 kilograms of cocaine, three firearms and $32,000 in cash.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Feb. 2, 2026.
