Montreal police have arrested two people on drug charges following an investigation into the death of a 15-year-old boy from a synthetic opioid overdose last December, a case that made headlines across Quebec.
Laxshan Mylvaganam, 24, and a 17-year-old whose identity is protected have been charged with drug trafficking and possession for the purpose of trafficking. Police made the arrests Tuesday, and also seized nearly a thousand counterfeit pills containing dangerous synthetic opioids during searches of three homes and a vehicle.
