Two men, aged 44 and 45, were arrested Wednesday morning in Longueuil on Montreal's South Shore for alleged drug trafficking and possession.
According to Longueuil police (SPAL) spokesperson Mélanie Mercille, officers retrieved methamphetamines, cocaine and cannabis from three residences on Préfontaine Street in Longueuil and Delacroix Street in Candiac.
In total, police say they seized:

- 2,700 amphetamine tablets
- 1,000g of cannabis
- 250 cannabis gummies
