“Gang intimidation alleged
Reluctant witnesses concerned about own safety, police admit”

KAMLOOPS —

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Cameras flashed inside the packed room as Insp. Yves Lacasse, along with Supt. Jim Begley and Kamloops Mayor Terry Lake, announced that city police had dealt a decisive blow to the Kamloops chapter of the Independent Soldiers gang by arresting the men they suspected to be the gang’s top two leaders.

Arrested on drug and weapons charges outside of the Rendezvous Hotel two days earlier, Lacasse confirmed, had been 26-year-olds Jayme Norman Russell and Thomas Crawford, the alleged No 1 and 2, respectively, of the Kamloops’ cell of one of Western Canada’s most powerful gangs, said to have connections with the Hell’s Angels.

Body shots of both men, on display in the room, showed the gang’s name tattooed in script on their thick forearms.”
