Montreal police seized seven firearms while probing a suspected drug‑trafficking operation involving a father and his son in the LaSalle district of the city in late June 2026. The seizure was made by the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal during a targeted narcotics investigation.
Officers from the West region narcotics unit conducted a search of the family’s residence after gathering intelligence linking the household to drug dealing activities. During the operation, investigators uncovered an arsenal containing the seven guns, which were subsequently removed as evidence.
The firearms seizure forms part of a broader narcotics case focused on the father and son who are alleged to be involved in the distribution of illegal substances. The weapons will be processed through the police chain of custody, and the investigation remains active as authorities continue to examine the scope of the suspected trafficking network.
The West region narcotics unit regularly undertakes operations aimed at disrupting drug markets in Montreal’s neighborhoods, and this latest action underscores its focus on dismantling both the supply of narcotics and the related armament that can accompany such activities. The unit’s discovery of the weapons was reported as a significant development in the ongoing case.
Police have not released further details about additional arrests or charges stemming from the June operation. The investigation is expected to continue as authorities follow leads connected to the LaSalle family’s alleged drug activities.
