Eleven people are facing charges after a southern Ontario drug trafficking investigation linked an organized crime ring to thefts of baby formula and vitamins that were allegedly used in trade for cocaine and other narcotics.
Peel Regional Police say the four-month investigation in Mississauga, Ont., uncovered an organized crime group that was involved in both drug trafficking and targeting commercial retail businesses in the city’s Meadowvale area.
