Sûreté du Québec officers from the force’s auxiliary post for the MRC de D’Autray searched a residence in Saint-Gabriel-de-Brandon on 5 November 2026.[1] The home is on rue Guindon.[1] The post is the Sûreté du Québec unit for the MRC de D’Autray, a regional county municipality.[1] The D’Autray post worked with the force’s organized-crime investigation division, DECCO Rive-Nord, on the illicit cannabis search.[1]

Police seized more than two kilos of cannabis.[1] They also seized four long guns and an electroshock weapon.[1] The weapons were found at the same residence as the cannabis.[1] The Sûreté du Québec said the seizure followed an investigation opened after information received from the public.[1] That investigation is still under way, the force said.[1]

The Sûreté du Québec, the province’s police force, asked anyone with information on cannabis smuggling or drug trafficking to come forward at any time.[1] Its criminal information line is confidential and can be reached at 1 800 659-4264.[1]
