Drug pipeline 'shut down'
11-month probe leads to raid, arrests and seizures
By JACK BOLAND, SUN MEDIA
WHITBY -- A simple motor vehicle accident last year put Durham drug cops on
the trail of a multi-million dollar international cocaine importation ring
with routes from the Dominican Republic, police say.
Police probing the single-vehicle roll-over in Clarington last October
stumbled on 45 kilos of vacuum-packed, ready-to-sell marijuana and $17,000
in cash, an undercover drug enforcement officer said.
That led police on an 11-month investigation called Project Merlin, which
culminated Tuesday when more than 200 officers assisted Durham drug squad in
pre-dawn raids throughout the GTA.
Twelve suspects -- including a full-patch member of the Hells Angels and a
baggage handler at Pearson airport -- were arrested while a warrant was
issued for a 13th.
Durham Police Chief Mike Ewles said it is the largest seizure of cocaine and
cash in the force's history and has cut off a drug pipeline to the Durham
and Toronto region.
"We have shut down a significant pipeline that was bringing this poison into
the GTA," Ewles said.
Yesterday, heavily armed officers unveiled the seizure: 26 kilos of
pure-grade cocaine, three kilos of hash oil, oxycotin, $445,000 cash, four
military assault rifles, a Thompson submachine-gun, a .357 Magnum, several
semi-automatic handguns, body armour, money counting machines, a homemade
drug press and eight confiscated vehicles.
In late August, 22 kilos of cocaine, linked to Project Merlin, were seized
from a plane arriving at Pearson airport from the Dominican Republic, police
said.
Among those arrested in Tuesday's raids were Jeremy Brown, 30, a full-patch
member of the Oshawa Hells Angels and Jason McGee, 28, an associate Hells
member.
But Ewles downplayed the role of the Hells Angels.
"The Hells Angels in Durham Region suffered a significant blow last year in
Project Tandem," Ewles said of a massive biker gang sweep.
Another of the accused, Dale Wyatt, 34, of Toronto, is facing numerous drug
and weapons charges and allegedly has been deported from the country four
times.

drug chief fired in Canada drugs case
Santo Domingo.- Following the discovery that drugs sent to a Canadian
jail were supplied from the Dominican Republic, Dominican president Leonel
Fernández has removed General Geraldo de los Santos Mora, head of the Drugs
Control Department (DNCD) Joint Investigation and Coordination Center from
his post.
The official, whose responsibilities included airport intelligence,
was replaced by General César Nicolás Castaing Jiménez.
Police reports from Durham, Ontario, reveal a connection between
airport employees in the Dominican Republic with their counterparts in
Pearson, following the haul of a US$3 million cocaine shipment last week.
The operation consisted of sending drugs to Canada on commercial
flights and payments were sent back to the Dominican Republic by
"accomplices" posing as tourists.
According to Inspector Tom Cameron, from the Durham Criminal
Intelligence Unit, the cartel was active for one year and made weekly
shipments. Detainee Jeremy Brown used to handle the luggage.

(it is interesting to note that the Cdn media reports don't mention
drugs going to a jail in this country. It has been noted in the past that
HAMC has infiltrated airports and ports in this country and is active as a
gang in Cdn prisons.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HA
is involved with
extortion, homicide, kidnapping, prostitution, meth and cocaine
dealing, rape, armed robbery and motorcycle theft and child
pornography
as well as phoney currency and witness intimidation and obstruction of
justice. They have been known to bribe and scare law enforcement
officers and judges into doing their bidding. These ppl must be
rooted
out of the Cdn justice system. Two judges have actually done their
job
and declared HAMC a criminal org and the Victoria Times-Colonist is
calling for it to be banned as a terrorist org.
The White Rock chapter Sgt.Of Arms, Villy Roy Lynnerup, recently was
arrested for trying to board an airplane at YVR
with a loaded firearm. Was probably going to crash the plane into the
Downtown courthouse or hold the passengers hostage in exchange for
the
release of Moms Boucher and all imprisoned full patch members. All
the
Hell's Angels, their supporters, associates etc. should be imprisoned
for twenty years
their children put in foster care and their assets seized.
Ppl are trying to get HAMC listed as a terrorist org. If you support
this
then write letters to editors of local newspapers and your local MP.
As well John Les the solicitor-general of BC has advocated banning
the wearing of gang colours such as biker patches in bars. Since HA
is
known to frequent the College Place and the Cecil and has links to
various bars in BC that would be an improvement. The gang has a
history of intimidating
bartenders, infiltrating unions involved in the bar industry, beating
and killing strippers and beating customers to death at random for no
reason. Contact your MLA as well as the local media and tell them you
want this implemented sooner rather than later.
VPD is appealing again for info about the homicide of Maria Yvette
Monzon who was shot dead on the westside of Vancouver. She was killed
by HA but the police have never stated that. There is a reward.
