Quebec City Drug Network Dismantled (14/03/2025)
A drug network which mainly operated in Quebec City was dismantled Friday after a 5 month long investigation led by the ACCES Cannabis squad of the SPVQ (Quebec City Police Service) and the ENCRO, an organized crime squad of the SQ (Quebec Provincial Police). Police had put their plan in action towards 6pm that night. In total, 3 warrants were served; one in the Val-Belair sector of Quebec City, one in the Duberger-Les Saules borough and finally, one in Trois-Rivieres.
There were 190 tablets of methamphetamine was seized, as well as 12 grams of coke, 47,000 in cash and six cellphones. Three THC vapes were also seized in the midst of the warrant but we can only presume they were meant for personal use. A 9mm pistol and a taser gun were also found. At the end of the day, police seized a very measly amount of drugs given they had three search warrants. The six cellphones and nearly 50 grand in cash is really what makes this story interesting. A 37-year-old man was arrested subsequently following one of the seizures.

Saint-Eustache Salvatore Pizza Shop Targeted (19/02/2025)
It’s no secret that the Salvatore pizza chain in Quebec has a massive foothold in the day to day media, especially in social media. Nearly every podcast, that is of Quebec origin, is sponsored by the recently emerging brand, voraciously taking a hold of the pizza market. It might come to you as a surprise when the news of a brick and mortar front had been the victim of a criminal arson in Saint-Eustache.
As most people know, a restaurant chain is only as strong as the franchisee. And extortion seems to be making a comeback in Montreal and its surrounding regions. So why was a Saint-Eustache restaurant the victim to a criminal arson towards 4am on Wednesday morning? Was it the result of a retaliatory act concerning the recent drama of the owner’s social media profile? Or was it something else?
The resolution of many of these stories rarely have a conclusion, due to it only being a minor hiccup on the pages of local newspapers. But sometimes these smaller stories are the developing steps on something bigger.
