Between Sunday, March 2, 2014, and Tuesday March 4, 2014, the Drug Squad executed a series of search warrants relating to an investigation surrounding "IZMS" and "Pure Pillz" products sold online and through several retail locations. A total of 14 warrants under the Criminal Code and Controlled Drug and Substances Act (C.D.S.A.) were executed in Toronto, and one in Peel Region.
It is alleged that several thousand packages of illegal drugs were seized. The sum of the illicit drugs exceeds $300,000 Canadian.
It is alleged that those involved are trafficking illicit drugs under false pretense as legal alternatives to MDMA (ecstasy), BZP and marijuana. Health Canada has determined, through analysis, that the products being sold are, in fact, illicit and fall under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.
It is further alleged that police seized $150,000 in Canadian currency, two vehicles, and several computers related to the sale and production of the drugs.
