Two Rewards of up to $250,000 Announced Among Incentives
Fall 2024 Top 25 Update – December 4, 2024
MONTREAL, Dec. 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Two men believed to be central figures in Quebec’s violent ongoing drug conflict now top Bolo Program’s list of Canada’s Top 25 most wanted fugitives, with rewards of up to $250,000 offered in connection to each of their arrests.
At a news conference held on Wednesday, December 4, 2024, Bolo’s newest number one suspect was revealed to be Dave “Pik” Turmel, alleged head of Blood Family Mafia, or BFM. A reward of up to $250,000 is being offered for information leading to his arrest. Turmel is wanted for substance trafficking, conspiracy, and assault with a weapon by the Quebec City Police Service.
“Dave Turmel and BFM are willing to do anything to take control of drug trafficking, not only in Quebec City, but throughout eastern Quebec,” said Denis Turcotte, Quebec City Police Service Chief. “Dave Turmel, wherever you are, it’s not too late to turn yourself in. If you don’t, we will find you, we will arrest you, and we will make sure you face justice.”
An identical reward was renewed for alleged drug trafficker All Boivin, who remains the number two suspect on Bolo’s Top 25 list. Boivin is wanted by the Sûreté du Québec, who hosted Wednesday’s news conference. An additional eight rewards of up to $50,000 each were also announced for suspects included in Bolo’s Top 25 list.
“The timing of this Bolo Top 25 Update is very appropriate for Quebec’s police services because the new list prominently features two individuals who have been at the centre of recent violent events in our province: Dave Turmel and All Boivin,” mentioned Johanne Beausoleil, Sûreté du Québec Chief. “We are noticing a shift in Quebec’s organized crime, marked by conflict and violent incidents to gain control of drug trade territories. Such violence is not tolerated in Quebec.”
Since the last iteration of Bolo’s Top 25 list was unveiled in April 2024, seven arrests have been announced in connection with the most-wanted campaign.
“All Bolo rewards are offered for any information leading to the arrests of the suspects, period,” said Max Langlois, Bolo Program Executive Director. “The eventual conviction of these accused has nothing to do with our rewards. If your tip is successful, our priority will be to get you the money you deserve as soon as possible, like we’ve done several times over the past seven years.”
Langlois was joined by dozens of police officers from some 15 law enforcement agencies across the country. The news conference featured life-sized cutouts of each wanted fugitive, along with Bolo-themed “Advent calendars” featuring the 25 wanted fugitives. As of Wednesday, December 4, all Top 25 suspects can be viewed on the Bolo Program website in motion, thanks to AI-generated images that will make them more identifiable in public.
“Since 2018, Bolo Program has encouraged Quebecers and Canadians to be on the lookout for the country’s most wanted fugitives, with the aim of making our communities safer,” Langlois said. “Thanks to our Top 25 amplification campaigns, including outdoor and digital advertising, our innovative concepts and our major awards, 30 of the 70 fugitive cases in which Bolo has intervened over the years have resulted in arrests.”
