Introduction

In a dramatic development in Canada’s ongoing battle against organized crime, two notorious figures from Quebec have claimed the top spots on the Bolo Program's latest Top 25 list of Canada’s Most Wanted fugitives.

Press Conference Announcement

On Wednesday morning, law enforcement agencies held a press conference in Montreal to unveil this list, highlighting the serious threats posed by these individuals and their criminal enterprises.

Dave 'Pik' Turmel

Leading the charge is Dave 'Pik' Turmel, the alleged leader of the Blood Family Mafia (BFM). The Sûreté du Québec (SQ) has marked Turmel as their number one target, sought for serious charges including drug trafficking, conspiracy, and assault with a weapon.

Reward for Capture

Quebec City police have put a staggering reward of up to $250,000 for information leading to his arrest. SPVQ Director Denis Turcotte made a poignant statement addressing Turmel: "Wherever you are, it’s not too late to turn yourself in. If you don’t, we will find you, we will arrest you, and we will ensure you face justice."

All Boivin

Tailing Turmel is All Boivin, another key player in the illicit drug trade, who is also wanted with a reward of up to $250,000. Both men are believed to be deeply entrenched in a violent struggle for dominion over drug trafficking routes in eastern Quebec.

Rising Violence in Organized Crime

The shift in organized crime within the province is concerning, as marked by a rising tide of violence and conflicts aimed at asserting control over drug territories. Johanne Beausoleil, director general of the SQ, emphasized that such brutality is intolerable in Quebec, signaling a commitment from law enforcement to quell this chaos.

Bolo Program's Top 25 List

The spotlight isn’t just on Turmel and Boivin. The Bolo Program's Top 25 list features other dangerous fugitives, including serious murder suspects like Rabih Alkhalil, Adrian Walker, and Phillip Grant, each facing significant rewards for tips leading to their capture.

Public Involvement Encouraged

Maxime Langlois, director of the Bolo Program, reassured the public of the anonymity and reward system in place: "If your tip is successful, our priority will be to get you the money you deserve as soon as possible." This initiative aims to draw in tips that may lead to successful arrests and restore order in communities affected by this rampant crime wave.

Ongoing Campaign Success

Since the last update in April, seven individuals have already been apprehended as part of the ongoing campaign, underscoring the effective partnership between the public and law enforcement in the fight against organized crime in Canada.
