An arrest warrant has been issued for Lucas Thiessen. It is currently unknown where Theissen is and anyone with information is asked their local RCMP detachment or Crimestoppers.

The BC CFSEU began an investigation into the Fraser Valley crime cell in August of 2014, seizing cash, weapons, and over five million dollars worth of illegal drugs including fentanyl.

Crown Counsel approved charges against three of the men originally arrested in connection to the investigation in December of 2015.
