Meth lab busted in Quebec

Quebec cops dismantled a meth lab under a residential garage in the Laurentians and busted four. Mounties raided the clandestine lab in Gore, Quebec, about 90 km northwest of Montreal. Gore is a township of around 2,000 people. A hidden room underneath the garage of the home contained a synthetic drug lab. Cops seized “large quantities of chemicals, precursors and excipients,” as well as a pill press and other equipment. Excipients are things like coloring agents, preservatives, and fillers. Sophisticated equipment for synthesizing meth and supplies could have made millions of doses.

Police also conducted search warrants at two other homes in Mille-Isles. Perps face charges under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, including production and possession of controlled substances for the purpose of trafficking. The process of dismantling the lab, disposing of toxic chemicals and destroying equipment took 4 days.
