Five people were arrested in Sainte-Adèle on Thursday 29 October 2026 in a narcotics investigation that followed a series of searches leading to seizures of weapons and drugs.[1] Police conducted three searches targeting rooms in an establishment located on rue Séraphin in order to intervene against the group.[1] Those apprehended were a 42-year-old man, two women aged 41, one woman aged 36 and one woman aged 31.[1]

Authorities seized six different weapons during the searches.[1] The substances seized included methamphetamine tablets, cocaine, GHB, cannabis and hashish, crack and prescription medication.[1] Officers also seized more than 4,500 dollars in cash in connection with the same searches.[1] The operation stemmed from information received from members of the public.[1]

The five suspects are expected to return before the courts at a later date.[1] They could face charges relating to narcotics, illicit cannabis and firearms.[1] The file was handled as a drug case in which illicit cannabis was listed separately from other narcotics among the possible charges.[1]
