[2] According to Toronto police, the Dixon Bloods had been responsible for weapons trafficking and drug trafficking out of a highrise apartment complex in Toronto's Kingsview Village neighborhood, located on Dixon Road east of Kipling Avenue.
Officers allege that they effectively dismantled the gang operation in 2013, following the year-long Project Traveller investigation.
[2] Although the probe was launched shortly after the Rob Ford crack scandal broke, one of the detectives involved in Project Traveller indicated that the investigation was unrelated to it and that the probe was instead intended to quash a local criminal organization.
[2][4] Toronto police alleged that at its height, the gang operated through associates as far west as Edmonton.
[4] The Toronto police concurrently announced that with the conclusion of Project Traveller, Project Clean Slate would be launched in its place to ensure that the criminal void left by the arrests is not filled and to strengthen relations with the area's residents.
