CFSEU BC employing new strategy in hopes of arresting high-ranking UN gang member

Today the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of BC (CFSEU-BC) announced a new strategy that they hope will lead to the capture of a high-ranking United Nations (UN) gang member in B.C

Conor D’Monte is wanted for the 2009 murder of Kevin LeClair, a Red Scorpions gang member.

In 2008 and 2009, the Lower Mainland was plagued by the worst gang violence in its history. The two rival groups, The Red Scorpions and the UN, were openly shooting each other's members, and innocent victims were often caught in the crossfire.

In February 2009, LeClair was murdered in a brazen daytime shooting in a strip mall in Langley. His murder was one of many, but it prompted one of the longest and most involved joint investigations in the CFSEU-BC’s history. It continues to this day.

D’Monte, who they say is a high-ranking member of the UN gang, has continued to evade arrest since LeClair’s murder.

The violence associated to the UN gang, including the murder of LeClair, resulted in the CFSEU-BC and Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) joining forces.

As a result of the combined efforts, between 2008 and 2018, there have been 18 arrests and 12 convictions of UN gang members and associates for serious offences, including murder and conspiracy to commit murder.

In an attempt to renew and increase efforts to bring D’Monte into custody, the CFSEU-BC is partnering with the Bolo Program.

The Bolo Program is a Canadian public safety innovation project that launched in Toronto in May, 2018 in cooperation with the Toronto Police Service. It’s mission is to encourage citizens to be on the lookout for Canada’s most wanted by leveraging social media and technology to make the public more aware.

The Bolo Program has expanded across the country, and this will be the first case in B.C. A media campaign has begun for D’Monte with a reward of up to $100,000 for any information leading to his arrest. This reward will be available for a period of six months.

“Conor D’Monte and his fellow gang members are responsible for an unprecedented level of brazen gang violence in the history of British Columbia. Police will not rest until we have brought all those responsible to justice. Working in partnership with the Bolo Program is another example of our tenacity and dedication to find D’Monte and have him held responsible for his crimes.” says Chief Superintendent Trent Rolfe, CFSEU-BC Chief Officer.

Anyone who has information on the location of Conor D’Monte is encouraged to contact their local police or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS or online at solvecrime.ca.
