Police forces across the GTA have teamed up to shut down a street gang whose criminal tentacles reached well beyond the region.

Police in Durham Region say a nine-month-long investigation into drug trafficking and illegal firearms began in April 2025, targeting a gang that calls itself “44”. It’s alleged that members bragged about their illicit earnings in social media posts.

Sixty-one search warrants were executed over the span of several weeks within Durham Region, Toronto, Lindsay, York Region, Peel Region and as far as Winnipeg.

Thirty-four people, ranging in ages 18 to 53, are facing a combined 139 charges, and a large quantity of drugs totalling more than $2.7 million was seized along with 10 firearms – four of which have been traced back to Detroit, where they were stolen.
