Police have seized more than 118,000 illicit cannabis plants worth an estimated $201 million following raids at 10 locations across Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory over the past two months, according to investigators.

In a news release Monday, Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) said 24 suspects are facing a total of 53 charges after investigators executed search warrants at six sites in early October.

A list provided by police shows those charged are from cities including Toronto, Belleville, Windsor and Duncan, B.C.

Six of the people facing charges are from Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, while seven are listed as having “no fixed address.”

The investigation included officers from the Tyendinaga Police Service, the Canada Border Services Agency and 12 separate provincial police units.

Police said they seized 46,700 cannabis plants with an estimated value of more than $79 million, which works out to roughly $1,700 per plant.

In a statement to CBC, an OPP spokesperson said that figure is based on the size, state of growth and expected yield of the plants that were seized.

Investigators said they also found 3.7 million contraband cigarettes and 35,600 kilograms of cut tobacco, valued by OPP at another $9.8 million.

The latest arrests and seizures follow an investigation in September into an “organized criminal network” that OPP alleged was operating cannabis farms on the territory.

Ten people were charged following raids at four sites on Sept. 23 and 24. Six of those suspects were not members of the Tyendinaga community, police said.

During that investigation, police said officers stemmed the “unlawful diversion of water” from the Bay of Quinte.

The Tyendinaga Police Service said officers also discovered illegal dumping sites with “significant environmental impacts,” and a local quarry had been depleted, “negatively affecting the water table.”

Investigators seized 72,000 cannabis plants with an estimated value of $122 million in those earlier raids.

They also seized three firearms, ammunition and property used for the offences, valued at around $530,000.

A quote attributed to acting Sgt. Chris Brinklow of the Tyendinaga Police Service said the two investigations had exposed the “extent to which non-community members have exploited our land for profit.”

In total, 19 suspects who are not members of the community face charges, Brinklow stated.

“These operations have enriched organized crime while offering no benefit to our people.”
