Hells Angels targeted by major police raid in Trois-Rivières region

The Trois-Rivières chapter of the Hells Angels and one of its affiliate clubs was the target Wednesday morning of a major police raid involving 200 police officers from the Sûreté du Québec and other local police departments.

Thus far, 20 raids have been carried out and 30 arrests are expected to be executed. Paul Magnan, a 54-year-old member of the Hells Angels Trois-Rivières chapter and whom police allege was the head of a major drug distribution ring, has been arrested.

Police allege that members of the Deimos Crew, a Hells Angels affiliate, had, under Magnan, been in control of the illegal drug market in several municipalities including Trois-Rivières, Shawinigan and Portneuf. Magnan, a resident of Saint-Alban, is expected to be arraigned Wednesday afternoon and face multiple charges.
