Police have arrested every member of the Zig Zag Crew in Manitoba
Altogether, 31 people have been charged from Manitoba and B.C. Among those charged are 33-year-old Sean Sebastian Wolfe, of Winnipeg, who has been connected to the Manitoba Hells Angels, and seven members of the Zig Zag Crew."These organizations are all making money at the expense of the community," said Cst. Jason Michalyshen, public information officer for the Winnipeg Police Service.Searches done at 23 locations across Manitoba and one in B.C. resulted in several drug seizures including, 165 ounces of cocaine, 12 ounces of methamphetamine, 12,000 ecstasy tablets, one ounce of heroin and seven pounds of marijuana. Money and firearms were also seized."We’ve hit the higher level of … members that are affiliated or prospects with the Zig Zag Crew as well as Hells Angels. And by doing so, we know that that’s going to have a trickle-down effect. The impact is huge," said Michalyshen. "We’re going to have less drugs on our streets, we’re going to have less firearms, and ultimately making our community safer. That’s really what it boils down to. We’ve hit the source."Police would not disclose further details of the investigation, which began in November 2008. Project DIVIDE is ongoing.
"We’re not interested in victory. We’re interested in impact," said Karpish.

the only reason it was zig zag is because they are direct competition to the Red Lines in Winnipeg and the Red Lines have family members in the police force... Honestly, it seems like it was just a way to make sure the Red Lines stay in power because they were losing.
