Five people have been arrested after guns and drugs were seized in an investigation into links to the Hells Angels.
British Columbia’s anti-gang unit said Friday the arrests were years in the making; the investigation started back in 2019.
Members of the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU) began investigating a group in Prince George based on allegations that members were dealing cocaine in the area.
The department said it had uncovered links between the unnamed individuals in the group and “full members of the Hells Angels,” although it did not provide further details about those alleged links.
The CFSEU did not say where the information came from or what evidence it gathered, but said the case led to the execution of search warrants at seven locations.
The unit claims that officers seized 1.7 kilograms of cocaine and over 70 kilograms of cannabis from the properties. Another 958 cannabis plants were measured, as well as unspecified amounts of MDMA and LSD.
Investigators said they found more than 3,000 pills of “various types,” 29 firearms, $40,000 in cash and a money counter.
They said they also seized a ring worth more than $100,000.
Following the seizures, police arrested four men and one woman, but no one has yet been charged.
The investigation is still ongoing, but officials say the group could be charged with firearms and drug related crimes, as well as crimes related to organized crime.
