In what has been described as an anti-gang operation, three men were arrested this week after authorities seized more than 100 kilograms of cocaine, Montreal police announced Wednesday.

The operation was carried out on Dec. 8 by the force’s Organized Crime Section and involved searches across several Montreal boroughs,  including Lachine, LaSalle, Côte-des-Neiges—Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, Ville-Marie and St-Laurent, as well as in the nearby city of Lorraine, Montreal police said in a statement.

In addition to the cocaine, officers seized five kilograms of heroin, 20 litres of GHB, $306,000 in cash, three firearms, two vehicles and other evidence. The combined estimated street value of the cocaine and heroin was pegged at more than $2.3 million, police said.
