A coordinated crackdown descended upon Quebec on Wednesday, as a specialized police task force moved against the Hells Angels and their network of associates. The operation, spearheaded by the Sûreté du Québec, resulted in the arrest of twelve individuals across multiple regions of the province.
Ten men and two women, ranging in age from 22 to 68, found themselves in custody, facing a barrage of serious charges. These included drug trafficking, illegal firearms possession, and the holding of assets acquired through criminal activity – a clear indication of the scope of the alleged offenses.
The raids weren’t confined to a single city; they spanned the Quebec City area, Chaudière-Appalaches, Bas-St-Laurent, Laurentians, and Montérégie. This widespread approach underscores the task force’s determination to dismantle a criminal organization operating with significant reach under the banner of the Hells Angels’ Quebec chapter.
This week’s arrests represent the culmination of a lengthy investigation that began in 2024, with earlier raids already conducted throughout 2025. Approximately fifty officers from Quebec City, Lévis, Longueuil, and Mirabel participated in Wednesday’s sweeping operation, demonstrating a substantial commitment of resources.
The investigation remains active, and authorities are seeking any information that could contribute to this case or others like it. Individuals with relevant knowledge are encouraged to contact the SQ criminal information line.
