Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit Wraps up Successful Investigation into Illegal Activities Involving Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs
The Prince Albert Police Service and the Prince Albert RCMP, together with other agency partners, have wrapped up a successful, seven-month investigation into illegal drug trafficking activity that led to the arrest of 11 people with connections to outlaw motorcycle gangs, along with the seizure of a significant amount of cash, drugs and weapons. Members of the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU) recently searched 13 residences in Prince Albert, the surrounding area, and Saskatoon as part of Project NORSE. The joint investigation led to the seizure of nearly $87,000 in cash, three rifles, one shotgun, and six vehicles worth an estimated $116,000. Police also located the following as part of the investigation: • 596 grams of cocaine • Cocaine Press • 9,279 grams of cannabis bud • 33 cannabis plants • 2,142 grams of individually-packaged cannabis by-products, including but not limited to, butter, resin, hash and vape cigarettes

Police estimate the cocaine seized during the investigation would amount to 1,200 personal uses, while the cannabis bud could make an estimated 36,000 joints. The total cannabis resin seized would be enough for 1,900 sales.

Over the course of the investigation, police determined that three full-patch members of the FreeWheelers outlaw motorcycle gang were involved in illegal trafficking of a significant amount of cocaine and marihuana in Prince Albert and the surrounding rural area. Numerous others with connections to Prince Albert and Saskatoon were determined to be working in conjunction with FreeWheelers members to illegally distribute drugs around the community. Further investigation found that marihuana was being grown under a valid Health Canada medical license and diverted onto the black market for resale. A significant amount of this marihuana was being sold at the pound level to buyers in Prince Albert. The Project NORSE investigation also determined that another man was running a commercial process where he made marihuana vapes and other professional-looking cannabis products. One man is suspected of selling products online. Nearly 100 law enforcement officers from the Prince Albert Police Service, the RCMP and partners, including the Saskatoon Police Service, participated in the Project NORSE investigation targeting illegal activity by outlaw motorcycle gangs. Outlaw motorcycle gangs (OMGs) are criminal organizations, whose illegal activities cause harm and victimization to people in communities across the country. Over the last five years, OMGs have significantly increased their criminal presence across Canada, and have developed extensive ties to other organized crime groups and street gangs. In Prince Albert, the FreeWheelers group has been operating since May 2019, and has connections to other FreeWheelers chapters in Lloydminster and Saskatoon, along with the Hells Angels chapter out of Saskatoon.

Nice...glad they caught up to these guys and gals, good for everyone involved that it seems that it was a peaceful take down.. I hate seeing Leo’s getting shot at..
Zip

[buckbrush]

Oh come on. How are they expected to buy toys for the kids if their means of income is taken away?

At least with our legal system they will be back in business and have more money for toys well before Christmas.

[keeks]

Well, I mean, a guys got to have a hobby right?

[Buckhead]

Other than the small amount of cocaine what did all that investigating amount to. Not much I would say for all the people apparently involved.

[Talking moose]

Busts are good.....and bad.
Taking a significant amount of hard drugs off the street drives the prices up for users. (The old supply and demand).
In return the meth heads and crackers need more money for their product now..... crimes go up and so does the degree of crime.
The war on drugs is and was always destined to fail.
Make it legal.

So the marijuana, $30000+ worth of coke and 'unsafe storage of a firearm'...which in police parlance means they were likely carrying on their person.
I'd say that's a good bust.

Danny Glover? Been wondering where he got to but P.A.? Residuals from the Lethal Weapon series must have dried up.

That just doesn’t seem like much to show for 7 months work with investigators in PA, Saskatoon, Regina, and probably Edmonton. No big fish charged just the street dealers.

[traderal]

I would venture to say that the motorcycle gangs, well one in particular, control most of the criminal activities, in Alberta. Wonder why our paid protectors won't touch them. Swat teams, armoured vehicles, helicopters, what, just for show? All the urban and rural thefts are in one way or another connected to these gangs. It's been what, 10, 15 years since I last heard an Angels member be arrested. Is there some directive from head office to leave them alone here in Alberta?

Well if we took out the angels who are on top, there would be a void to fill.....
Almost gauranty it would be more chaotic and unorganized as the previous. Scary actually.
Harleys are cool.
Crotch rockets not so much.

[Talking moose]

What I mean is, I have some guesses as to who would take over and it would be much uglier.

Don't get out much do you? I'll give you the first one:

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbc.ca/amp/1.4975792

Try using Google. Then try reading caselaw, then try reading the definition of organized crime. Your pretty sarcastic for someone who can do the little things...

[elkhunter11]

There is a reason that some gangs are referred to as 1% gangs. Some even wear 1% patches. It would be nice if all corrupt people wore 1% patches.

[Pioneer2]

Like politicians and lawyers.............bottom feeders.

All occupations have corrupt people including law enforcement and in most cases the percentage of corrupt individuals is a very low percentage, but with politicians, and lawyers and possibly used car salesmen the percentage can be much higher.

[Stinky Buffalo]

The beauty of this is, since the legalization of cannabis, the illegal distributors have the CRA on their tail.

They may not fear the cops, but heaven help them if they are audited!

The difference is everyone in a 1% motorcycle "club" is corrupt. That's why they're in it.

And why do you suppose they call those clubs the 1%? Because they only make up about 1% of all motorcycle clubs.

Yeah right, house arrest, that really slowed down the patch club. They are probably still trembling. So sorry I missed that little bust.

there not all bad

This is true. So I guess we have to learn to live with the organized and disorganized crime we now have. Why should we come down hard on the petty criminals at the bottom if we don't to the ones on top. Someone steals your truck, just suck it up, no one can do anything about it, the overall picture is just too big. Now prevent the victims from defending their property and situations become a little more peaceful. I get it.

[robbiebobbie]

9000 grams makes 36000 joints? Talk about rolling a pinner.

[wwbirds]

453 grams in a pound? 9200 grams that is over 20 pounds of grass?
84 cigarette sized joints in an ounce X 16 ounces to a pound 1344
20 pounds X 1344 so I calculate 26880 not calculating the 33 plants they also found

[JD848]

15000 kilo's of cocaine was grab by the feds in Philadelphia in July 2019.now there's a good size bust.

600 grams could be some dude with cash making it his personal stash if he has friends that are hooked and love it.I am sure in holly wood 597 grams is for a large over night party and you get a few grams to take home as left overs.


As far as organized crime goes it's in all levels of society,lawyers,bikers ,banks and bankers moven dirty gas and fillen there pockets.

Could be your doctor or dentist the way our insurance pays them.Many places only give 30 days of heart meds for example so your insurance gets dinged 12 times a year so they tag the insurance corps by 300 percent if they have there own in house pharmacy .Like many walk in clinics with regular patients who don't want to lose there Doctor so they don't complain and pay for the 12 refills and have there own pharmacy in house also.

Plus they give out stuff that many don't need ,but at the end of the year there profits are very high along with every visit they book you for that's not needed,it's way bigger then any biker group in this country.

If you have a chronic illness your meds should be 2 times a year or every 90 days,so if 20 percent of the people have medical insurance these insurance groups are being robbed like crazy.




Why any criminal would want to advertise wearing patches is all ego and a power trip.You may as well tattoo on you forehead going to jail ?

The most dangers criminals are the ones who lay low and let gangs and such do the dirty work.

Very few gang members ever go to the main doors of the cartels ,there just heat bags and are not welcomed ,so it could be your mayor ,any one who is under the radar .

The old time rounders and players in the criminal world end up being grabbed or go into hiding with the way the law deals with the rat who doesn't like hard time, many get grabbed and know one ever knows it till round up time comes a long.Then pop goes the weasel.

Large money like pipline corps ,large equipment dealers etc that import all kinda stuff are the bigger players, if you have 100 million you need to place it somewhere and greed always kills the cat.

All the new pot factories and stock have been setup with connections to the right people in politics so now the government works for many crime out fits and boasted many corp shares in record speed and then pulled there loot out, now they got clean working capital and still running the black market, so they got the front end tapped and the back end and only a few are bikers.


I could tell you scams by many on this site and the way they rob consumers or work they do for them, then some folks think they got jack up and of to court and then it just keeps on going.I talked to a large contractor in building condos.houses and he told me stuff that was way out of line,ever one wants a little bit extra down the whole line.

I really don't care if you don't like what I think, or wrote it's all cool the feelings mutual.

Plus many crimes like 30 trucks a day in Calgary are fraud cases just using the system when crime rate on the street goes up, you buy 2 year full replacement and drive a new car ever 2 years and blame it on the gang bangers, costs society billions to fund this crap. Lots of innocent people do get robbed, but not all.

The media is very dangerous tool that imbed thought's in every ones mind and I mean anything on the internet period, plenty of it might just be your neighbor who is running something illegal and 95 percent isn't drugs.
