City police not surprised by mafia ties

The Mafia is operating in Thunder Bay. A recent investigation and raid in Italy on the Ndrangheta crime organization has uncovered a cell operating in Thunder Bay.  Thunder Bay Inspector Andy Hay says the fact that Thunder Bay is a mafia site is not a surprise. Hay says Thunder Bay isn't immune to organized crime, and they heard about the sect through police sources and the RCMP.  Meanwhile, local RCMP officials have no comment and the National media spokesperson says she hasn't received any word on the local mafia operation.
