The police landed on Wednesday at the home of an influential member of the main school club of the Montreal chapter of the Hells Angels, as part of a series of narcotics searches.

One of the individuals targeted by this police operation is Éric Bleau, 41, a biker considered an influential member of the Marauders, a Hells supporter club.

Newly dad, Bleau was not arrested during the police strike by the Regional Mixed Squad (ERM) Rive-Nord and is not currently facing any criminal charges.

“These are ongoing drug trafficking searches targeting a group associated with the Hells Angels,” said Sergeant Marc Tessier, spokesman for the ERM.

In the middle of the followingnoon, the police left the condo tower where Éric Bleau and his spouse live, in Deux-Montagnes. They took with them boxes of documents seized from Bleau which might possibly be used to flesh out the evidence in this investigation.

The Marauders member’s condo building is located directly next to an elementary school, in a seemingly peaceful residential area.

Bleau’s motorcycle was parked in front of the newly constructed building. A red “Support your local Hells Angels Montreal” sticker was affixed to the gas tank, while the engine block of the bike was adorned with a plaque bearing the likeness of the Montreal Marauders.

The police also landed at the residence of Éric Bleau’s mother, in Mirabel, to search the place for potential evidence.

In total, five searches were carried out during the day on the north shore of Montreal, in the municipalities of Blainville, Mirabel and Deux-Montagnes.

This operation stems from an investigation that began in January 2021 and in which some twenty police officers participated.

Éric Bleau is considered by the police to be close to the most influential member of the Hells Angels in Quebec, Martin Robert, of the Montreal chapter.

Also according to the police, Martin Robert would have control of drug trafficking in the Laurentians region.

The powerful Hells finds himself at the heart of a vast police investigation into drug trafficking led by the National Organized Crime Repression Squad (ENRCO). His personal residence in Sainte-Sophie was also searched at the end of March, as were those of his acolytes from the Montreal chapter Michel Lamontagne and Stéphane Plouffe.
