Washington - White Rock Hells Angels Implicated in U.S. Drug Ring

OFF THE WIRE
While no charges have yet been laid in Washington state against members or associates of the White Rock Hells Angels, U.S. court documents portray them as major suppliers of marijuana to American gangsters.

I went through hundreds of pages of those court documents, which point the finger at White Rock associate Trevor Jones, twin brother of Randy Jones - whose a full-patch member of the Langley-based chapter.

Three Canadians have been charged so far, along with 19 Americans. And it looks like others will be prosecuted as well. When you read through the court documents, who see just how many resources U.S. law enforcement commits to cases like this. Surveillance for months in multiple states. Many, many wiretaps. Agents setting up some of the suspects. And police intercepting marijuana and cocaine being transported in both planes and trucks.

One of the Canadians, Glen Stewart, 51, has lived in Blaine for years. Police allege he was going to be the recipient of a beating or worse by some White Rock associates that had travelled to the U.S. to look for missing cocaine. The coke had in fact been seized by authorities.

I did try to reach Trevor for this story, given that he has been implicated, but not charged. He did not respond to interview requests.
