Montreal police carried out a coordinated operation on June 11, 2026 that broke up a vehicle theft network in Quebec. Authorities said the ring was linked to the Hells Angels motorcycle club. The action resulted in the dismantling of the organized group responsible for stealing and moving cars, according to statements from police officials.
The police effort was described as a joint and organized response aimed at disrupting the criminal activity. Law enforcement officials indicated that the operation targeted the structure of the theft network, cutting off its ability to continue stealing vehicles. While specific details of arrests or seized property were not disclosed, the police confirmed that the operation effectively ended the ring's operations.
Organized crime groups have historically been involved in vehicle theft schemes throughout Quebec, and this latest bust reflects ongoing efforts by authorities to combat such activities. The connection to the Hells Angels underscores the broader pattern of motorcycle clubs participating in illicit enterprises. Police officials emphasized that the operation is part of a continued strategy to address organized criminal activity across the province, aiming to protect the public and reduce the flow of stolen vehicles.
