Police have dismantled an illegal booze can that had been operating in the city’s downtown core.

Officers with the community response team raided the establishment near Bathurst and Queen streets at around 4 a.m.

According to police, about 400 people were inside at the time and many of them were questioned.

Police say dozens of people were then charged and released at the scene after being given court dates.

It is not immediately clear what charges those people face.
