Police in Quebec seize hash, cannabis, kief in record raid

Police in Blainville, Quebec say they seized more than 32 kg of cannabis, 37 kg of hashish, and 57 kg of kief, along with hash-making equipment in a raid earlier this month, arresting three.

Police say this is the largest seizure of hashish in the department’s history. The three arrested men are in their 40s and 60s.

The raid was the result of an investigation that began several months ago as part of the province’s ACCES program, a concerted action against the underground economy.

The ACCES Cannabis program (Actions Concertées pour Contrer les Économies Souterraines) is a provincial initiative set up in 2018 by the Ministry of Public Security to combat illicit cannabis operations.

Earlier this month, police in Quebec arrested six and seized a large quantity of cannabis in connection with what they say was a hash processing facility. That raid led to six arrests and a large quantity of seized cannabis following a series of seven searches of places and five vehicles in Shawinigan, Montreal, and Saint-Armand.
