Between Nov. 28 and Dec. 8, undercover officers were set up in the Marlborough, City Hall, Chinook, Rundle, Eighth Street, Sunalta, Whitehorn, Westbrook and Heritage LRT stations.

"We were able to successfully apprehend these individuals and hold them accountable for not only their crimes, but for putting our communities at risk," said CPS acting Insp. Lee Wayne in a release.
