Hamilton Police have successfully dismantled what they termed an 'open air drug market' in downtown, arresting 57 individuals and laying 103 criminal charges over five weeks.
The alleged operation mimicked a business structure with specific roles like lookouts and runners, showcasing a coordinated approach to illegal drug trafficking.
In their operation, police seized large quantities of illegal substances including methamphetamine, crack cocaine, and fentanyl, highlighting the scale of the drug issue in the community.
Insp. Jim Callender emphasized the tragedy of addiction exploitation, noting that individuals panhandling often immediately use the money for drugs, perpetuating a destructive cycle.
