Regina Kelowna cocaine ring busted

The Vancouver Province is reporting that five homes in Regina were searched on June 9 and 10 and two homes in West Kelowna were searched on June 9. Police seized 1.5 kilograms of cocaine and 1.1 kilos of pot as well as various other weapons and artefacts include their video games systems. Some people’s kids.

Castanet is reporting that one house in Merritt was also searched and among items seized was a 2008 Harley. Eight people have been arrested. Five in Regina and two in Kelowna. Jeremy Lemioer, 30, Sarah Hamann, 26, Shane Yelinek, 34, Brendan Krecklewich, 25, Riley Williams, 26, and Hafiz Alli, 28, are all Regina residents. They face charges ranging from cocaine and marijuana trafficking and possession for the purpose of trafficking to participating in a criminal organization.

Two men, 28-year-old Dustin Zimmerman and 46-year-old Jaird Hatch, were arrested in Kelowna. Castanet is reporting that these two were arrested in Kelowna but are from Regina. The Province is reporting that Zimmerman lives in Kelowna as well as Regina. Kim Bolan is still on holidays so we haven’t heard the inside scoop on who’s affiliated with who yet but as always it’s hard to conceive a cocaine ring connecting West Kelowna to Regina and a Harley isn’t tied to the Hells Angels. The name Zimmerman sounds familiar but I can’t find anything off hand.

We know some Kingpin Crew live in West Kelowna but they are lying pretty low these days. Speaking of which, where’s Waldo? You know, rat face. Haven’t seen or heard from Dave Habib or his drag queen brother lately. No doubt they’re out of the loop so to speak. Yet a couple of pinheads in West Kelowna lived next door to Darryl Wilcox who was convicted of cocaine trafficking. Ryan Ennis was house sitting for him while he’s in jail. Ryan was with Corry and Uncle Joe speeding through Salmon Arm with a car load of weapons, Hells Angels gear and a cell phone jammer. Things that make ya go hmmm. Castanet is reporting the two houses searched in Kelona were in the 800 block of Ogden Drive and 3000 block of Astoria Drive in West Kelowna.
