Gatineau police arrested 10 people Thursday night and seized drugs after three raids in western Quebec.
The arrests follow raids at two homes in Masson Angers, Que., and at a third home on Nadon Street in the Gatineau neighbourhood of Buckingham.
Police seized two vehicles, hundreds of pills, ecstasy, cocaine, marijuana and the date-rape drug GHB.
Two people will appear in court Friday facing multiple charges, including trafficking, possession for the purpose of drug trafficking and possession of property obtained by crime. The others were released with a promise to appear.
The arrests were the second phase of an investigation police are calling Operation Illusion.
Last week, police arrested eight people after raids at three homes in Gatineau and seized drugs, guns and more than $20,000 in cash.
