MONTREAL – Montreal police say six people have been arrested in connection with an alleged drug trafficking network operating mainly in the Sud-Ouest borough.

Police say five men and one woman were arrested Thursday in an investigation into a network allegedly selling illicit drugs to vulnerable people.

Searches in the area turned up cocaine, cannabis, amphetamine and methamphetamine, as well as a firearm, ammunition and more than $10,000 in cash.

Three suspects appeared in a Montreal courtroom Thursday on charges including possession of prohibited firearms and possession of drugs for the purpose of trafficking.

The three other suspects are expected to appear in court at a later date.
