The checkpoint was carried out on Guinea Grass Road on Friday evening and targeted a range of offences including illegal immigration, firearm possession, drug trafficking and traffic violations.
Police say approximately 200 vehicles passed through the checkpoint during the three-and-a-half-hour operation.
While no major criminal arrests were reported, officers issued eight traffic citations to motorists found in violation of traffic regulations.
Law enforcement officials say these operations play a critical role in reducing crime, improving road safety and identifying individuals involved in illegal activities.
