Two of the men were already detained in Quebec, and searches were conducted in Montreal, Cambridge, Ont., and Kamloops, B.C.

The latest arrests follow a dozen others made this summer during a joint probe aimed at street gangs in Montreal and its northern suburb, Laval.

The homicides include the June 2023 shooting of a 32-year-old man inside his parked car in Charlemagne, 25 kilometres east of Montreal, that police say was a case of mistaken identity.

The actual target, a 28-year-old, was then gunned down in downtown Montreal two months later, and the third homicide took place on May 14 this year in the city's north end.
