Federal Mounties have arrested three men in Surrey, B.C., who they say are tied to an organized crime group with links to Mexican drug cartels believed to be importing cocaine to Canada.

RCMP federal investigators said Wednesday police searched a Surrey home in September that was surrounded by razor wire fencing with steel gates and arrested the men. Officers also seized 23 firearms, several thousand rounds of ammunition and “multi-kilos of illicit drugs” from the house.
