More Charges Against Crime Syndicate Servicing B.C’s North

Federal Crown Counsel has approved a total of 50 more criminal charges against five additional men of a Fraser Valley Crime cell that operated primarily out of BC’s north, servicing northern cities and towns including Williams Lake and Quesnel.

In a Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit press release charges have been approved against:

• Jordan Anthony Ramos, a 26-year-old from Chilliwack. Ramos is charged with four counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking. He is currently in custody in Grand Prairie, Alberta on unrelated charges.
• 25-year-old Dana Mikael Hendrick Schaper-Kotter, from Chilliwack, is charged with four counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking and 12 counts of possession of a prohibited device. He turned himself into Chilliwack RCMP today.
• 23-year-old Darcy Horvath, from Chilliwack, is charged with nine counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking and 12 counts of possession of a prohibited device.
• 22-year-old Lucas Benjamin Thiessen, from Chilliwack, is charged with four counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking.
• 25-year-old Kyle Harrower, from Chilliwack, is charged with five counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking.

  

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.
