25 Hells Angels still at large in Quebec
MONTREAL * Twenty-five people are still being sought in the major investigation that crippled the Hells Angels in Quebec.
While conducting a summary of Operation SharQc Thursday morning, members of the Regional Integrated Squads gave specifics about some of the numbers involved in the investigation.
According to the police, 111 of the 113 full-patch members of the biker gang’s five chapters in Quebec were either arrested or remain at large on arrest warrants alleging they either approved of several murders committed during the biker gang war or were involved in the gang’s alleged drug trafficking for several years.
In all 156 people are named in the sole indictment filed in Operation SharQc. That includes 11 of 12 retired members of the Hells Angels in the province.
The police also noted that three of the homicides mentioned among the 22 murder charges filed in the investigation involved innocent victims of the biker war. All three were mistaken for members of the Alliance, an umbrella group that challenged the Hells Angels for drug trafficking turf between 1994 and 2002.
The police also seized more than $5 million in cash during their investigation.
