MONTREAL — RCMP say officers are searching a residence in the Montréal-Nord borough in an investigation into a suspected human smuggling ring.

They say one alleged smuggler and one migrant have been arrested, but police did not say what charges they could be facing.

Police say the residence housed migrants after they were smuggled into Canada from the U.S., or before they crossed south of the border.

They say the investigation is ongoing.
