The B.C. Liquor Control Branch is reviewing a liquor licence for a
Surrey strip club linked to a man charged in the U.S. in a major drug
smuggling case connected to the Hells Angels, The Vancouver Sun has
learned.

Trevor Alan Jones, who runs T-Barz Exotic Adventure Room in Surrey, is
facing 14 charges south of the border, including conspiracy to
distribute cocaine and marijuana, as well as money laundering.

U.S. authorities allege the 41-year-old was the Canadian “boss” of a
drug ring that was distributing up to a tonne of pot and 200 kilograms
of cocaine a month for several years.

The ring was broken up last year with a series of arrests in several
states, and the seizure of almost $2 million US and 1,000 kilograms of
cocaine from various locations.

Jones, the twin brother of full-patch White Rock Angel Randy Jones,
has been running T-Barz at 10458 137th St. for years. The club is
owned by a numbered company registered at Jones’s Langley house.

The only corporate director is Jones’s mother Gladys Ann, who is
listed as living at the same 26th Avenue address in Langley

Trevor Jones has spoken on behalf of T-Barz at Surrey City Council
meetings, according to public minutes.

U.S. court documents describe him as the owner of the strip club.

A B.C. government official confirmed to The Sun that “the province is
reviewing the next steps associated with this particular licence.”

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said one of the
factors the government uses to determine whether an individual is
suitable to hold a liquor licence “is whether the licensee is involved
in criminal activities, or is associated with someone who is.”

“Where information is obtained subsequent to the licence being granted
that reveals issues of concern, the province may at any time initiate
a review of the licensee to determine whether the licensee continues
to be suitable to hold a liquor licence, and may take appropriate
action, up to and including cancelling the licence,” the official
said.

T-Barz also holds a City of Surrey business licence, which is up for
renewal on April 30.

Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts said businesses licences are granted after
applicants meet criteria under the Liquor Control Act.

Jones did not return phone and email messages left at his home and two
businesses.

T-Barz is not the only B.C. business linked to Jones. He and his Hells
Angel twin started Dank Energy Drinks in 2009. They boast on their
website that the hemp-infused beverage is “a new, healthy lifestyle
choice for the energy drink market.”

“Get a buzz without the fuzz,” the site says. Until recently, it
featured a photo of two RCMP officers drinking Dank.

Randy ceased being a director of Dank in October 2010, according to
corporate documents.

Trevor briefly ceased being a director on May 30, 2011 — just 19 days
after he was indicted in the U.S. But he was reinstated as a Dank
director on Sept. 16, 2011, the documents show.

Dank hosted a party on Oct. 14, 2009 at T-Barz with the band Swollen
Members performing.

Canadian and U.S. officials would not comment this week on whether an
extradition request has been made for Trevor Jones, who is listed as a
fugitive on the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s website.

U.S. law enforcement agents claim in court documents that the White
Rock chapter of the Hells Angels supplied marijuana and muscle to the
multimillion-dollar smuggling ring.

The documents say that Jones was observed by U.S. agents meeting a key
member of the drug ring in Las Vegas in February 2011.

And the documents say that U.S. members of the gang were caught on
wiretap in April 2011 trying to get guns, baseball bats and pepper
spray for the B.C. bikers so they could go after an associate believed
to have stolen 106 kilograms of cocaine.

In fact, the coke had been seized by police.

“I believe that cocaine was destined for Canada and for the Hells
Angels, possibly Trevor Jones,” special agent Bryan Winger, of
Homeland Security, said in one sworn affidavit.

The investigation began in early 2010 when U.S. Homeland Security came
across three separate drug cases that all linked back to Washington
resident Jacob Stuart.

“In recent years, Stuart began getting Canadian marijuana from a man
called Red, who owns T-Barz in British Columbia,” Winger said in his
affidavit. “Red is the nickname or code name for Trevor Jones ...
According to Canadian law enforcement Trevor Jones is a Hells Angels
member and/or associate.”

Winger further alleged that while Jones was not captured on wiretap
during the investigation, U.S. authorities intercepted calls about
Jones and his role in the drug ring.

And agents watched in Las Vegas as another accused in the case “was
delivering money to Trevor Jones, which the Stuart drug trafficking
organization owed for marijuana obtained from the Jones brothers,”
Winger said.

Last month, three Americans and a Canadian who pleaded guilty to
working for the smuggling operation were sentenced in U.S. District
Court in Seattle.

Canadian Mario Joseph Fenianos, 39, was handed a 13-year term on March
30 for his role as the gang’s cocaine broker in L.A. The prosecution
sentencing memo said Fenianos “has ties to both violent Canadian
organized crime and the Mexican-based Sinaloa Drug Cartel.”

Canadian Michel Dubois, who worked with Fenianos in L.A., has also
pleaded guilty but won’t be sentenced until July.

Washington resident Jacob Burdick, 34, got a 12-year sentence for
directing the distribution of drugs and money. Californian Michael
Murphy, 62, who flew B.C. bud and cash to distribution points across
the U.S., got 12 years. His wife, Pamela Marie Murphy, 58, got 18
months for helping him count cash and launder it through an antiques
business.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Swollen Members have been linked to HAMC before and used to live
in the Georgia St clubhouse in East Van.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Missing Hells Angel Cedric Baxter Smith loved his antique cars. He
worked on them tirelessly, erasing imperfections, decades of wear and
tear and shoddy restoration by amateurs.

There was a 1937 gold Cadillac Fleetwood used at the opening of the
Golden Gate Bridge. A 1925 Nash convertible, fully restored. A shiny
red 1939 Packard two-door sedan with its original interior.

There are 11 in all. Many look like the gangster cars from the days of
Al Capone.

But now Smith’s beloved collection, potentially worth more than $1
million, is on the auction block in Calgary, as his devastated family
fears the 59-year-old Vancouver chapter member has met with foul play.

Mark Smith, the long-time biker’s eldest sibling, confirmed to The
Vancouver Sun that the family was forced to put the vehicles up for
sale even though Cedric has not officially been declared dead.

“We had no choice. He lived on somebody’s property and we had to clear
everything out,” Smith said.

He found receipts for some of the collector cars in his brother’s
safety deposit box, showing his name, date of purchase and price.

There was also an ominous little note to Mark, Cedric’s chosen
executor.

“You may need these some day,” it said.

Some of the valuable vehicles were registered in other people’s names.
But all signed them over to Cedric’s estate, Mark Smith said.

“That was no problem at all,” Smith said.

The Sun broke the news last summer that Cedric Smith — Ced for short —
a convicted cocaine trafficker who was an original member of the Hells
Angels when the first B.C. chapter was formed in the early 1980s, had
disappeared and likely met with foul play.

Cedric Smith never married or had children.

He had his three siblings and he had the Hells Angels.

A senior HA associate reported Cedric’s disappearance to police,
saying the car buff had been with his biker brethren over the May long
weekend — the 17th to the 19th — but had not been seen since.

Mark Smith also filed a missing person report, not knowing anything
about the biker club’s concern.

The family became worried in May when calls to his cell phone went
unanswered. It would ring and ring, but no one would pick up, Mark
said.

Finally a sister went to Langley to see if Smith was at the rental
property where he lived and worked on his cars.

Nothing. No sign.

Mark Smith then called the police immediately. Cedric’s day-to-day
vehicle was later found abandoned a short distance from his house.

There has been no activity in his bank accounts, no charges on his
credit card, no more cellphone calls or other contact since.

He missed a meeting with his parole officer June 17.

The last sign of life was a VISA transaction on May 21, 2008, Mark
said.

Everything Mark Smith has heard about the disappearance is
speculation. Speculation that his younger brother was murdered. Or
that maybe he had a reason to vanish.

His friends in the antique-car world told The Sun that Cedric never
would have left his precious collection behind.

Mark said family members had not heard anything from police
investigators in months, but were hopeful that the RCMP have more
information about what happened than they have shared with the family.

“I haven’t talked to the officer investigating Ced’s case in a long
time,” Mark Smith said. “Basically I have heard nothing. We’ve had no
communication.”

Cedric Smith was the first Hells Angels member to have contact with a
police agent who it later turned out had secretly agreed to infiltrate
clubs in Vancouver and Prince George in a covert operation dubbed
Project Essen.

The investigation led to 10 major arrests in January 2005, including
Cedric’s and that of Vancouver club president Norman Krogstad. All the
accused eventually pleaded guilty to various drug and gun charges,
making the project the most successful prosecution of B.C. bikers to
date.

Because of the guilty pleas, the police agent, who is now in the
witness protection program, did not end up testifying.

Smith is not the only biker in the case who may have met with a
violent end. Co-accused William (Billy) Moore, who headed the Hells
Angels puppet club in Prince George, was slain in March 2005. The
bullet-riddled body of the Renegades president was found slumped in
his car near the charred remains of his rural home. The murder remains
unsolved.

Moore also had extensive contact with the police agent during the 18-
month undercover operation.

The police agent began meeting Cedric Smith in June 2003 at his
Langley home and was soon purchasing kilos of cocaine for $39,600
each, according to Cedric’s sentencing hearing.

Some of the coke was delivered to a nearby Wendy’s restaurant. The
agent would leave the code 666 on Cedric’s pager as a signal to meet
at the restaurant. Sometimes Cedric would travel to Cache Creek or
Boston Bar to make the transaction with the agent.

When Cedric Smith was arrested three years before his disappearance,
police found $73,000 cash at his house. For his conviction, he got a
four-year sentence and a $100,000 fine, but was allowed to use the
seized money to help pay it.

Lawyer David Martin told the court at sentencing that his client was
single and had spent his entire life as an auto-body repairman.

That trade went hand in hand with his passion for antique automobiles.
His work was known as meticulous. He worked alone. He didn’t like
other people touching his cars.

“It is a nice collection. It is good,” said Harold Heninger, the
auctioneer selling the cars in Calgary on April 25.

He said normally any one of the vehicles could bring in $50,000 to
$100,000 at auction, but with the current economic climate, it was
anyone’s guess.

“The market is a little tight right now. Maybe things will turn around
by April,” Heninger said.

The cars are on view in Calgary and some people have already been
stopping by to see the museum-like display, said Heninger, who has
been running car auctions for 19 years.

“They just come in looking at them.”

Mark Smith said his little brother had been building his collection
“his whole life — 30 to 40 years.”

“I know that he would drive a couple of them, but the rest are kind of
collectors’ [items]. He didn’t even take insurance out on them,” he
said, admitting they were like children to Cedric.

“He never married. He just preferred to be by himself.”

The rest of his family did not approve of the Hells Angel connection,
but couldn’t really do much about it, said Mark, who spent most of his
professional life in Alberta and moved back to Vancouver last May.

“I didn’t live here. I was in Calgary all of his life,” he said.

Cedric was not one-dimensional, nor defined solely by his death-head
patch, Mark said.

“There were two sides to him. He was always very good with his
family.”

When he got the news his brother had been charged with drug
trafficking in 2005, “I was floored.”

“I never imagined he would get himself caught up in something like
that,” he said.

But his brother also took responsibility for his crime, pleading
guilty and “paying his dues.”

“He had been to prison and he had been out for a year,” Mark Smith
said. “He knew he couldn’t go back to what he was doing before, so he
was fixing up ICBC wrecks and selling them. He didn’t need much money
to live.”

While the antique cars were very important to Cedric, his brother said
the siblings reluctantly agreed they had to go.

“We had no alternative given the situation,” he said. “It took us six
months to clean up all of the buildings on the property.”

Family members intend to put the proceeds in a bank account in
Cedric’s name and pray for the best.

“That’s the plan, to leave it for a few years. We have his will,” Mark
said. “We would love for Ced to show up one day.”

They won’t be able to have him declared dead until seven years after
his disappearance, according to B.C. law.

In the meantime, the family would like some closure, some explanation
as to where the missing Angel is.

“Of course it leaves a bit of a hole,” Mark said.

He also worries police won’t take the case as seriously because of
Cedric’s membership in the notorious biker gang.

“Unfortunately, I think that’s true,” he said.

At least two other missing person files from 2008 — those of Kellen
McElwee and Michael Scullion — were referred to the Integrated
Homicide Investigation Team, as police had information the young men
were dead.

But Cedric Smith’s disappearance is still being handled as a Langley
RCMP file, Const. Holly Marks confirmed.

“It is an active investigation. We have multiple investigators from
the Langley serious crime section assigned to it and the file is a
priority,” Marks said.

She said a file would not be sent to the homicide squad unless police
have “evidence someone has met with foul play.”

“I don’t know if there is like a magical time frame, so potentially
that could happen.”

Mark Smith said police have assured the family they are not treating
the case any differently because of who Cedric is, or was. But he
still has nagging doubts.

No news release of his brother's disappearance was ever issued by
police. No public photo was released like in other missing persons
cases.

He asked months ago whether the RCMP had a record of all his brother’s
final cell phone calls to aid the investigation.

“I don’t know if they have done that. I don’t think they have,” he
said. “It’s like no one really cares.”

MONTREAL — A Hells Angels member arrested in Operation SharQc was
rushed into the Montreal courthouse with a police escort Thursday
morning, where it was confirmed he has turned informant on the members
of his former gang.


Dayle Fredette, a member of the gang's Quebec City chapter, pleaded
guilty to two counts filed against him in the police investigation,
which resulted in the arrests of nearly every member of the gang in
2009.


Fredette pleaded guilty to a murder charge in which he'll receive a
life sentence with no chance at parole for 25 years.


As part of a contract he signed with the prosecution, he will testify
against the Hells Angels in coming trials.


He will receive $50 per month while in prison but the contract
includes payments that will go toward his children and their education
until they are adults.


Reports that Fredette had turned informant emerged in September.
Prosecutor Sabin Ouellet said Fredette approached authorities recently
and said he was willing to help police. The prosecutor said his
contract was finalized and signed on Feb. 8.

MONTREAL — A member of the Hells Angels on trial for the murder of two
Montreal-area men in 2010 has been found dead inside his cell at a
Riviere des Prairies detention centre, in an apparent suicide.

A police source told the Montreal Gazette Jeffrey Albert Lynds, 42, a
member of the Hells Angels Nomads chapter in Ontario, killed himself
around noon Friday.

Surete du Quebec Sgt. Ann Mathieu would not identify the deceased, as
his family may not have been notified as yet.

But she confirmed that a 42-year-old man was found dead and that the
current hypothesis is suicide. There were no signs of violence on the
body, Mathieu said. An autopsy will be performed Monday.

Lynds was accused of ordering the murder of Kirk Murray, 47 and
Antonio Onesi, 51, in January 2010 in the parking lot of a McDonald’s
restaurant in the downtown Montreal area known as Notre Dame de
Grace.

They were shot to death as they sat inside a car. Both were South
Shore residents. He was also on soon to be brought to trial for the
murder of a third South Shore man, Mark Stewart, 41. His preliminary
inquest was scheduled to resume in May.

Well Greg, at least you and the Hell's Angels see eye-to-eye on one
issue.

They hate homosexuals, and it's debatable if you hate them more than
the Hells Angels.

Danny Kane was a Hell's Angel and a homosexual who became a police
informant. The HAMC has homosexuals in it, they aren't to be trusted.
I don't hate HAMC I have occasionaly taken their side in their battles
with law enforcement and I think their toys are cool. But they are a
criminal organization with terroristic tinges and they need to be
brought to account by society especially the govt, the courts and the
law enforcement community.

Would that be the HAMC or the closet fags? Closet fags *are* a problem,
no doubt.

They all love and hug each other in a brotherhood way.

They still go around using terms like "Bro" and pat each other on
the back......sometimes they seem to be as weird as the various Swat Teams
(Nwest, Igtf2, Fips, etc....) who are so much in love with each other and
their odd/childish self righteous attitudes, it really makes me wonder if
they are for real.

I never seen a girl with full patch colors yet, although there may
be one somewhere, nope it's a guy (homo?) thing. Swat girls are pretty
rare, but there are some.
