Quebec drug trafficking arrests

Entities: Sylvain Ringuet · Rimouski · Sûreté du Québec · Navin Ramgoolam · Mauritius Police Service

Overview

In early July 2026, Stéphane Dupuis was detained in Quebec in connection with a drug‑trafficking investigation. Within the same month, police actions continued, culminating in the arrest of 59‑year‑old Sylvain Ringuet on 3 July during a raid in the Bic area of Rimouski. Officers seized more than C$3,500 in cash, roughly 2 kg of cocaine, 1 kg of hashish, assorted cannabis, pills and 400 contraband cigarettes. A bail hearing for Ringuet was set for 30 July.

Both incidents illustrate an ongoing crackdown on drug‑related offenses within Quebec, with multiple suspects being apprehended in a short span of time.
