The Toronto police said 42 individuals have been arrested and over 400 criminal charges were laid as a result of a yearlong investigation into a major cross-border firearms trafficking scheme.
The police operation, dubbed Project Moneypenny, saw the seizure of 173 firearms, alongside ammunition and roughly $184,000 in proceeds of crime, from Canada and the United States, according to a press release from the Toronto Police Service (TPS) issued on April 11.
