“We would consider this a major bust because of the number of guns we took off the street,” Soucy said.

Two others remain at large and are considered armed and dangerous.

Alan MacDonald, 24, the alleged ringleader of the operation, and Khalilulah Iriken, 26, remain on the run. MacDonald is believed to be in the Toronto area, police said, and is “very distinctive” with full arm and neck tattoos.

Police seized 10 firearms, including six handguns, a long-barrel rifle and three submachine guns during the raids. They also seized 2,000 rounds of ammunition, two vehicles and $85,000 in cash, along with an assortment of drugs.
