Police bust Repentigny drug lab
Police have shut down a major designer-drug laboratory that used latex paint to colour its pills and operated out of a dirty commercial space in Repentigny.
The lab, which was capable of producing a total of 5 million ecstasy, methamphetamine and counterfeit Viagra and Cialis pills a month, was a danger to public health, if only because of the unsanitary nature of the operation, police said.
"People don't know what's in these pills," said Sgt. Andr Potvin, head of the RCMP's Montreal drug squad. "This laboratory was really filthy."
