The organized crime section of the SPVM carried out a wave of arrests Wednesday in connection with Project Asterios targeting alleged drug trafficking by bikers.
Police arrested 24 people with cooperation from the Granby, Longueuil and Quebec City police forces.
The suspects will appear at the Montreal courthouse today via video conference.
The arrests come after a series of SPVM searches in Nov. 2018 targetting the Hells Angels-affiliated Minotaures West Montreal motorcycle club that was suspected of leading a heroin and cocaine distribution ring.
The investigation was initiated following a series of fentanyl overdoses in Montreal in the summer of 2017.
In total, 40 searches were carried out that resulted in massive drug seizures including 11 kilograms of cocaine, five kilos of MDA, close to 600,000 methamphetamine tablets, eight firearms and $122,460.

INSANE THROTTLE 
One response to “The organized crime section of the SPVM carried out a wave of arrests Wednesday in connection with Project Asterios targeting alleged drug trafficking by bikers.”
And not one bit of Fentanyl. Another excuse to target bikers.
Granted, they were caught with some shit, but it wouldn’t have happened if they hadn’t been openly targeted in the first place. Unless someone was stupid and reckless.
