NEWMARKET, Ont. - Two Toronto police officers who were arrested during a series of raids on marijuana grow-ops have been released on bail.
On Thursday, police executed 63 search warrants throughout the Greater Toronto Area and laid charges against 20 people, including the police officers, three corrections officers, a real estate agent and a young person.
It's alleged the officers used the real estate agent to buy and sell homes to launder the money that was made from the sale of drugs.
Police seized about $60,000, almost eight kilograms of marijuana, three houses and five vehicles during the raids.
Small amounts of other drugs, such as ecstasy and steroids, were also found.
Officers Kevin Bourne and Patrick Lee face numerous charges and have been suspended with pay.
