suspected street gang member was arrested late Friday night by the North Shore anti-gang squad. Police made the arrest after receiving an anonymous tip last week.
The 28-year-old man was pulled over while driving his car in the Hochelaga-Maisonneuve district. He was armed with a loaded 357 magnum pistol, and officers discovered rocks of crack cocaine in the vehicle. The suspect's arrest was followed by a search of his residence in Laval, where he lives with his parents and a sister.
Police discovered nearly $5000 in cash, along with a large quantity of cocaine, several ounces of marijuana, and a number of BlackBerries and cell phones. The suspect will appear in court on Monday to face weapon and drug charges.
