Metro Vancouver gang busted in Alberta

Four people linked to a Lower Mainland gang called the Surrey Boys are facing dozens of firearms and drug trafficking charges in Alberta.
The four were arrested in Grand Prairie after a three-month investigation by ALERT – the Alberta integrated unit probing gangs and organized crime.
Charged are Thomas Saul and Kristopher Soucy, both 31, Richard Morales, 25, and Danielle Zentner, 21.
ALERT Insp. Chad Coles said were working with drug gangs in B.C.
“We believe these four individuals were part of an organized crime group operating in Grand Prairie with ties and connections to organized crime and individuals of the Lower Mainland in British Columbia,” Coles said.
Several search warrants were executed in Grand Prairie on Jan. 21. Police seized more than $55,000 cash, handguns, cocaine, heroin, pot, MDMA and fentanyl.
“This demonstrates ALERT’s ability to target gang-related activity in communities across the province and it has a significant public safety impact,” Coles said.
He said the drugs seized have an estimated street value of $183,290.
Three vehicles were also seized and along with the cash will be submitted to the Alberta’s civil forfeiture office.
One of the handguns was a loaded, prohibited revolver, while the other handgun was previously reported stolen in Burnaby in 2004.
