Twelve people are facing 52 charges after a collaborative drug trafficking investigation focused in southwestern Ontario.
The investigation, known as Project Derailleur, began late last year when Aylmer police discovered alleged Outlaw biker gang members trafficking drugs in the community.
Project Derailleur was led by the OPP’s Biker Enforcement Unit (BEU), Aylmer Police and London police. Members of the Strathroy-Caradoc police and St. Thomas police assisted as well.
According to a police statement, the investigation resulted in the seizure of four firearms, four prohibited weapons, 550 suspected opioid pills, seven ounces of cocaine, and $11,000 cash.
The BEU executed 11 search warrants at eight locations, including residences in the towns of Aylmer, St. Thomas and Strathroy.
“Outlaw motorcycle gangs are growing at an exponential rate,” explained Insp.-Det. Scott Wade, head of the BEU at a press conference at London police headquarters. Items seized from the investigation were on display, including two sniper rifles and four club vests.
