Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers arrested two Air Canada employees on August 26, 2026 as part of an ongoing drug investigation. The arrests were made at the airline's Dorval work base in the Greater Montreal area, and the police also obtained search warrants for the employees' residences and a vehicle linked to them.
The coordinated operation involved simultaneous raids on two separate homes in Dorlet, a vehicle believed to be connected to the investigation, and the airline's work facility at the international airport. Police officials confirmed that the searches were conducted under the authority of the drug probe and that all actions were carried out in accordance with legal procedures.
Authorities did not release the identities of the two Air Canada staff members or provide further details about the nature of the alleged drug activity. The RCMP emphasized that the operation was part of a broader effort to address drug-related offenses within the region and that the involvement of airline personnel was a specific focus of the investigation.
The raids underscore the scope of the RCMP's drug enforcement activities in the Montreal region, illustrating the agency's willingness to act on intelligence that points to criminal conduct among workers at the city's international airport. The investigation remains active, and additional information may be released as the case progresses.
