An Oakville man was arrested Wednesday at the scene of a police investigation in Six Nations of the Grand River.
Six Nations Police said their officers, along with Ontario Provincial Police, executed a search warrant at a tobacco manufacturing facility on Chiefswood Road. They said it was 'operated by a non-Indigenous criminal network who do not reside on the territory.'
Police also said profits from the operation were not invested in or used by the Six Nations community.
No further information about the investigation, or any arrests, have been released.
One person, however, has been charged.
Police said they were maintaining security on Chiefswood Road when, around 2:45 p.m., officers spotted a vehicle in a driveway with deflated tires.
According to a media release on Friday, they learned the driver had taken a knife to the tires.
Police said it was done for the purpose of 'intentionally blocking the entranceway.'
The driver, 47-year-old Francois Cadieux of Oakville, was arrested at the scene and charged with obstructing a police officer.

RCMP in London detail charges against man accused of selling components to Russia that could be used for weapons
The RCMP announced in London Friday it has laid charges against a Toronto businessman accused of selling materials to Russia that could be used to make weapons. It's the first charge laid under the Special Economic Measures Act, which placed export controls on Moscow in response to Russian military intervention in Ukraine. The suspect has been identified as Anton Trofimov, aged 43. RCMP would not confirm whether he was shipping parts for drones to Russia to be used in its war effort, saying only that they were 'dual use' components, meaning civilian or military. 'These particular items are on the common high priority list that the Bureau of Industry and Security puts out. These are items that the Russian military does seek to procure,' explained RCMP Cpl. Cap. Martin Williamson. 'It's dual-use components - micro-chips, antennas, semi-conductor materials and whatnot. So, in terms of drones, I can't comment on that.' The case will be back in court at the end of June.

Halifax police charge man with child luring after receiving tip from U.S. group
A Halifax-area man has been charged with child luring after police received a tip from the U.S. National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The tip on May 21 alleged a suspect was using social media to talk to a 10-year-old American girl about inappropriate sexual activities. Halifax Regional Police say their investigation determined the two had begun communicating online in January 2025, using platforms including Snapchat and Slowly. Investigators allege the man presented himself as a 15-year-old boy who also mailed the girl handwritten letters and gifts. The investigation included co-operation between the Halifax Integrated Child Exploitation Unit and the Lakeshore Regional Child Advocacy Center in Wisconsin. On Thursday, investigators executed a search warrant at a residence in Dartmouth, N.S., where electronic devices and firearms were seized. The suspect was arrested without incident and charged with luring a child under 16, making child pornography, and five offences related to firearms.
