A Relative Of The First Hells Angels Arrested In Mexico

A relative of Martin Robert, the first of the Hells Angels, was just arrested in Mexico while in possession of a gun and drugs.

According to our information, Éric Bleau, 41, was arrested late Tuesday evening in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico.

He was then in a van with another 33-year-old Canadian nicknamed “Allard,” local media reported. Solidaridad public security officers attempted to intercept them, but the two men fled in their Ford F-150. According to Mexican media, they were eventually arrested after a police chase.

According to local authorities, the two men were in possession of a firearm and several bags of drugs believed to contain methamphetamine.

Drug trafficking

Bleau is an influential member of the Marauders, the main school club of the Montreal branch of the Hells Angels.

Last spring, a search took place at his home in Deux-Montagnes in connection with “drug trafficking against a group linked to the Hells Angels,” said Regional Joint Squad spokesman Marc Tessier.

Police also searched Éric Bleau's mother's apartment in Mirabel in search of possible evidence.

However, no charges have been filed against him in this case.

Bleau was sentenced to five years in prison in 2015 in connection with the manufacture and trafficking of methamphetamine tablets in the Laurentians.

Then, in 2016, he was sentenced to four and a half years in prison in connection with another network for the production and trafficking of the same drug, but this time in Saguenay.
