"It's usually sold between $ 5 and $ 10 a pill. It resells well. It is a pill that is often eaten before a party. They [the consumers] mix that with alcohol. It has a euphoric effect. Yes, it's a drug that's pretty popular, "notes Sergeant Mongrain.

It should be remembered that this strike targeted a drug distribution and resale cell in the Trois-Rivières area, possibly linked to the Hells Angels. The police carried out five searches on De Coubertin, De Bougainville, De Sienne, Lacerte and Gingras streets.


Almost all of the methamphetamine was in one residence, 35,500 tablets. In addition to methamphetamine, 130 grams of cocaine, 1.7 kilograms of cannabis, and a small amount of hashish and psilocybin were seized.

The police also discovered more than $ 4,000 in Canadian cash as well as two handguns. In addition, ten vehicles were seized as offending, including a BMW, a Mercedes and an Audi.

The eight suspects targeted by this survey project called Paginer were all arrested at the scene of the searches. They appeared Tuesday afternoon at the courthouse of Trois-Rivières, under various charges related to the possession and distribution of narcotics.

They are Jason Bolduc Leboeuf, 36, presumed head, Philippe Plante Moreau, 27, Jess Larouche, 27, Andrée-Anne Dauphinais, 25, Mickael Villeneuve, 33, Guillaume Sirois, 25, Sébastien Girard, 28, and Joanie Frechette, 24, who appeared Wednesday, still under drug charges.


The alleged head of state, 36-year-old Jason Bolduc Leboeuf of Trois-Rivières, faces eight charges related to trafficking and possession for the purpose of trafficking in methamphetamine, ectasy, cocaine and cannabis. He is also charged with several offenses relating to the possession and storage of restricted weapons.

Even if this network is dismantled, others will not fail to take over. "It's a distribution cell. What circulates in Trois-Rivières is not only a cell. Yes, we surely hit hard with this one. Are there others who are still working? The answer is yes. Investigative projects are rolling all year round, "says Sergeant Mongrain.
