The police were clued in to what was going on and in March of 2001, the RCMP,
SQ, OPP, and local police forces from Montreal, Quebec City, Vancouver, Toronto
and Hamilton cam together to take on a war with the Hells Angels gang. There
were warrants for a total of one hundred and forty two bikers including the
Nomads, Rockers and Evil Ones clubs. The charges against them would include
conspiracy, drug trafficking, money laundering, gangsterism and murder. On
March 28th police had conducted raids in more than two hundred locations in
seventy seven different municipalities, and one hundred and eighteen bikers had
been taken to jail. Police also seized very Manitoba, and British Columbia
arrested ten more bikers. The biggest names in Hells Angels were taken to jail.
The only Nomad the police failed to put behind bars that day was Stadnick. He
was conveniently in Jamaica when the arrests were happening in Canada. They
found out where he was and the Jamaican Defence Force SWAT team were arresting
him in Jamaica while his house was being searched back at home and then he was
transported back home to jail.
