Hells Angels' 'tech guy' jailed 10 years - Crime - Canoe.ca: "The 'right-hand man' of the deputy of a Hells Angels cocaine ring admitted Thursday to possessing an arsenal of guns and plotting to take over small-town drug trade.
Lloyd MacDonald, a 39-year-old P.E.I. native with no criminal record, was sentenced to 10 years after pleading guilty to 24 charges, including conspiring with more than a dozen people to traffic cocaine.
He's the first to plead among those nabbed in January after a 30-month probe by the joint forces biker enforcement unit.
Investigators believed an Ottawa-based cell of the Hells Angels' elite Nomads was trying to take over the cocaine trade in Brockville, Gananoque and Prescott, prosecutor Allyson Ratsoy said.
It was allegedly headed by full-patch member Mario Sincennes, along with 'club hangaround' Craig Haines.
Investigators described MacDonald as Haines' 'right-hand man' and the 'tech guy' who encrypted the group's BlackBerrys and had a bug detector.
It didn't prevent police from using wire taps and drug and cash seizures to confirm a pattern of deliveries between Ottawa and mid-level dealers in Brockville."
