According to police reports cited by multiple outlets, officers conduct the operation in Ottawa and arrest 11 suspects. The police statement says the arrests involve individuals accused of exploiting minors by attempting to access an underage sex trade.

One source reports that all 11 suspects are arrested in Ottawa. Another source adds additional detail, stating that police lay 26 charges in connection with the sting. The two reports present the operation and outcomes described by police, including the number of arrests and, in one case, the total number of charges filed. Both accounts frame the investigation as aimed at preventing exploitation of minors through undercover contact with alleged buyers. The reports do not provide information on the specific charges for each individual or the status of cases beyond the arrests and charges.
