MONTREAL - Various police forces have cracked down on what they are calling a drug ring that operated in Montreal and various Mohawk communities.

Police say they are hoping to arrest about 30 people and charge some of them with gangsterism and drug trafficking.

The RCMP, Quebec provincial police, Mohawk authorities and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration took part in the raids in Montreal and the Mohawk communities of Kahnawake, Kanesatake and Akwesasne.

The Mounties are expected to hold a news conference this afternoon to discuss the raids.
