In a proactive move to ensure community safety, Mi7 Reaction Officers made a significant arrest earlier this afternoon during routine patrols in the Northdale area. The suspect, observed behaving suspiciously outside a local shop, was apprehended for distributing ‘Rock’ cocaine to teenagers.

The alert Reaction Officers noticed the man engaging with a group of teenagers, exchanging small parcels. Concerned by the situation, they approached the individual for questioning. As their inquiries deepened, the man’s inconsistent responses raised red flags, prompting a thorough inspection.

The subsequent search revealed that the suspect was in possession of 16 parcels of ‘Rock’ cocaine, all neatly packaged similarly to those given to the teens. Recognizing the severity of the situation, the Reaction Officers swiftly took the suspect into custody.

The matter has been handed over to the police for further investigation, underscoring the commitment of both Mi7 and law enforcement agencies to ensuring the safety and well-being of our communities.

This incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of vigilant community policing. The collaboration between Mi7 Reaction Officers and local law enforcement has once again proven instrumental in addressing illicit activities that pose a threat to our youth.

As the investigation unfolds, the community is encouraged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the authorities. Together, we can actively contribute to creating safer environments for everyone.
