Ottawa Police Bust Drug Ring, Arrest Youth

0:00It's April 22nd. I'm Corey with The Story, and this is Canada News Today, your AI-powered local news. Ottawa Police just nabbed a youth in the downtown core on serious drug charges after routine traffic stop turned into a big bust. The stop happened because the kid was wanted, on a warrant out of Gatno for straight-up drug possession, and it led right to the arrest. Cops are hitting back hard against tips flooding and about drug trafficking all over the city, showing folks are speaking up and making a difference. Earlier this month, they raided spots on the 800 block of Walkley Road in Riverside Park South and the 100 block of Silver Moon, Crescent and Avalon, grabbing two more suspects loaded with drugs and weapons. The main case is still wide open, with more digging ahead, but these moves prove police are clamping down on the streets to keep the city safer.
