One of Quebec’s 10 most wanted criminals, Hells Angels member Frédéric Landry-Hétu, was arrested early Saturday morning at a cottage in St-Michel-des-Saints in the Lanaudière region.

Landry-Hétu, 44, was wanted on 22 counts of murder and conspiracy to commit murder, as well as drug trafficking and gangsterism. He did not resist when members of the Sûreté du Québec’s tactical squad arrested him at about 4 a.m. Saturday, said Sûreté du Québec Sgt. Gregory Gomez.

Landry-Hétu’s arrest warrant was one of 156 issued in April of 2009 under Operation SharQc (Stratégie Hells Angels Région Québec), a sweeping police crackdown on all five Quebec chapters of the Hells Angels biker gang triggered after a full-patch member turned informant.

The arrest of Landry-Hétu brings to 144 the number of gang members and associates arrested under Operation SharQc, including 123 on a single day (April 15, 2009). (more…)
