Three suspected motorcycle gang members are facing charges after Cape Breton police raided multiple homes and a clubhouse in Glace Bay.
The search of two homes that police said was connected to the Black Pistons and the Outlaws led to the seizure of more than $120,000 worth of drugs, including cannabis resin, cocaine and hash, according to the Cape Breton Post. Authorities also uncovered $12,000 in cash and biker vests bearing the Black Pistons’ name as they took two men into custody.
A subsequent search of another home believed to be a hangout for the two gangs led to the arrest of two more men for multiple violations of gun and liquor control laws.
All four suspects live in Glace Bay, police said, and three of them are connected to the gangs: Colton Ben Kiley, a 31-year-old charged with trafficking cocaine and Ritalin and possession of property obtained by crime; David Kyri King, 46, charged with possessing a prohibited weapon and illegal sale of alcohol; and Andrew Jim Roberts, a 36-year-old charged with breaching his court conditions.
James Sparrow, a 62-year-old not believed to be connected to the gangs, is charged with trafficking in Ritalin and cocaine and possession of property obtained by crime (money).
The investigation is ongoing and all four men will appear in court over the next two months.
