The National Organized Crime Repression Squad (ENRCO) launched a series of searches on Wednesday morning targeting a Hells Angels group in the Laurentians.
At least seven searches were carried out in Saint-Sauveur, Saint-Jérôme, Piedmont and Lac Prévost, according to ENRCO, which has, among other things, the mission of attacking the leaders of organized crime.
The operation was launched after an investigation that dates back to January 2021 and mobilized around 40 police officers from various security bodies to track down members of this organized crime group.
ENRCO Montreal is made up of officers from the Sûreté du Québec, the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal, the Service de police de Laval, officers from the OPP, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and members of the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA).
