OTTAWA -- Police in Ottawa plan to charge 52 people with drug trafficking and other related offences after a four-month undercover investigation in the city.
"Project Shadow" began with the goal to address public disorder issues in an area of Ottawa's downtown after a number of public tips and police reports about drug activity.
As a result of the investigation, police say they will charge 45 men and seven women with a total of 188 offences related to the trafficking of crack cocaine, prescription pills and marijuana.
They say 34 of those people have been arrested and 18 are still being sought.
