2 Quebec men top list of Canada's most wanted

Two men believed to be central figures in Quebec’s violent and ongoing drug conflict topped the Bolo Program's latest Top 25 list of Canada's Most Wanted fugitives.

The announcement was made Wednesday morning in Montreal in collaboration with several police forces in Quebec.

"Dave 'Pik' Turmel, alleged head of the Blood Family Mafia, or BFM, was identified as Bolo's new number one suspect," noted Quebec provincial police, the Sûreté du Québec (SQ). "Turmel is wanted by the SPVQ for drug trafficking, conspiracy and assault with a weapon."

The force notes a reward of up to $250,000 is being offered until June 3, 2025, for any information leading to his arrest.

"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 SPVQ Director Denis Turcotte. "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."

A large reward is also being offered for the number two suspect, All Boivin, an alleged drug trafficker.

"We are noticing a shift in Quebec’s organized crime, marked by conflict and violent incidents to gain control of drug trade territories," said Johanne Beausoleil, director general of the SQ. "Such violence is not tolerated in Quebec."
