MONTREAL (CP) — Police
confirmed Wednesday that they
made raids, seizures and ar-
rests in connection with an
armed robbery for which the
terrorist Front de Liberation du
Quebec claimed credit.

But at the same time they ex-
pressed exasperation at news
reports of the raids, which they
suggested had spoiled police
moves to stop a massive terror-
ist operation.

A high-ranking member of the
combined anti-terrorist squad
said an investigation by both
Montreal and provincial police
was in progress to find the
source Of the leak.

Meanwhile, news reports
based on police sources who
would not be named indicated
the police raids had turned up
radio equipment, firearms, am-
munition and FLQ-type propa-
ganda material.

The reports alsa indicated
that seven persons were ar-
rested in the police operation,
which included a raid on an
apartment overlooking anti-ter-
rorist squad headquarters.
REPORTED IN COURT

Le Devoir reported today that
;, two persons arrested in the jpo-
’ lice operation appeared in court

and were granted bail, A third

appeared on holdup charges but
was kept in custody, the news-
paper said.

The reports of police activity,
which had circulated since late
Tuesday night, were confirmed
by Lievt. Larry Leyis, head of
the Montreal pclice public rela-
tions section.

Lieut. Levis refused to say
how many persons were ar-
rested and what material was
seized, but he acknowledged
that the raids were carried out
in connection with the robbery
of a credit union in Mascouche,
Que., Sept. 24. .

In the robbery, 20 miles north
of Montreal, townsfolk fired on
the robbers and claimed to have
hit one,

Pierre Louis Robbet was
‘found later in an abandoned
auto suffering a gunshot wound,
He died later in hospital,

Lieut, Levis said the anti-ter-
rorist-squad carried out Tues-
day's raids in east-end Montreal
because of speculation ‘that the
_ FLQ was involved because they
claimed credit for the Mas-
couche robbery and because
Boureet was killed after the
holdup.”

HELD FOR INQUEST

He said that those detained

were being held on eight-day

coroner’s warrants for the in-
quest into Bourret’s death. No
date has been set for the in-
quest, to be held in Joliette,

Que.

: QPP Insp, Leonard Melanson

said that three persons are

being detained on ‘coroner's
warrants in connection with

Bourret's. death.

Other police sources ex-

erates exasperation at reports

of the raids. One source said:

tion. since the October (1970)

Green said he wants a party
in which everyone has equal
status and In which thera is
no “back room"
source of revenue other than
from its membership,

“It Is wrong that any group’
that intends to make laws for
all segments of society should

Funds ¢an be raised from

He said he would aim at

ships of $10 4 year instead of,
the present $5. Party mem-
