Sûreté du Québec officers from the Maria-Chapdelaine detachment searched a home
on rue Renaud in Dolbeau-Mistassini on 29 October 2026.[1][2] The 52-year-old
woman who lived there was arrested and questioned, then released pending further
proceedings.[1][2] The operation was carried out with police from the
Mashteuiatsh public security service.[3][2]
Officers seized more than 100 grams of illicit cannabis and more than 100 grams
of edible cannabis.[1][2] They also seized cocaine, more than 100 methamphetamine
tablets, magic mushrooms and nearly C$3,000 in cash.[1][2] No charge had been
filed; police said charges related to drug trafficking could be laid against the
woman.[4][2]
The Sûreté du Québec said the search was carried out under ACCES-Cannabis, a
programme to reduce the availability of illicit cannabis on the Quebec market,
especially among young people, and to reduce the unfair competition that illegal
producers and traffickers pose to the SQDC, Quebec’s provincially owned cannabis
retailer.[1] The force asked anyone with information about drug trafficking or
production to contact its criminal information centre confidentially.[1]

Open questions the AI reported
- No photograph of the search was published: the three reports carry archive images credited Archives/CKAJ and Archives La Voix de l'Est and an Adobe Stock picture of a Sûreté du Québec vehicle, so no media is linked.
- Police gave only minimum quantities, 'more than 100 grams' each of illicit and edible cannabis, and no total weight or market value; the 0.2 kg figure is therefore a minimum.
- No drug-trafficking charge had been laid when the reports were published: the woman was released and police said charges could follow.
- Le Quotidien's photo caption says the woman 'will be charged with drug trafficking', while its text and the Sûreté du Québec account say only that charges could be filed.
- The woman was not named, and no weight was given for the cocaine or the magic mushrooms.
- All three reports rest on the same Sûreté du Québec account; no court record or independent account was found.
