Stay alert, Montreal! A new list of Canada's top 25 most wanted fugitives has two Quebec men right at the very top, and their crimes range from substance trafficking and conspiracy to assault with a weapon.
On Wednesday, December 4, the Bolo Program shared the latest list of Canada's most wanted individuals – who are wanted by police in connection with crimes from attempted murder and manslaughter to drug and firearms offences.
The Bolo Program encourages citizens to look for the fugitives named in the top 25, and there are significant rewards for providing details about their locations.
Two Quebec men are at the top of the latest list, wanted in connection with crimes related to drug trafficking and organized criminal gangs. Up to $250,000 in rewards are offered for each arrest.
Dave "Pik" Turmel.Bolo Program | Website
Canada's most wanted person right now is Dave "Pik" Turmel, who is the alleged head of Blood Family Mafia, or BFM. Bolo says Turmel is wanted by the Quebec City Police Service for crimes including, but not limited to, substance trafficking, conspiracy, and assault with a weapon. An INTERPOL Red Notice has been issued for him.
As part of their report on Turmel, the Bolo program explained that a conflict erupted between criminal organizations in 2022, which was "marked by sordid crimes such as murder and the use of the most barbaric methods of intimidation, including torture sessions and limb amputations, some of which have been broadcast on social media networks."
Turmel is a 5'4" Canadian man whose last known residence was Québec City. He speaks French, has blue eyes and brown hair, and weighs 161 lbs. He's recognizable by tattoos on his right hand and left upper back, as well as a pierced ear.
In a press release, Denis Turcotte, the Quebec City Police Service Chief, said, "Dave Turmel and BFM are willing to do anything to take control of drug trafficking, not only in Quebec City but throughout eastern Quebec."
Anyone who sees him is urged not to approach him, as he may be armed and dangerous.

Second on Bolo's list is alleged drug trafficker All Boivin, who is wanted by the Sûreté du Québec for his involvement in conflict among organized gangs in 2022.
He is wanted on Canada-wide warrants for multiple offences, including but not limited to trafficking, conspiracy to traffic, and possession for the purpose of trafficking.
Boivin is also suspected of having participated in several criminal activities that are still under active investigation.
Boivin, also known as "Jacob Tremblay," is a 6'0" Canadian man last seen in Saint-Lazare, Quebec. He speaks French, weighs 242 lbs, and has brown eyes and brown hair. He's identifiable by multiple tattoos, including a sleeve on his left arm, a tribal tattoo on his upper right arm, neck tattoos, and a scar on his left shoulder.
Again, anyone who sees him or knows his whereabouts is urged to contact police and not to approach him, as he may be armed and dangerous.
These two Quebec individuals have, far and away, the biggest reward on offer for information about their whereabouts, with up to $250,000 available for each of them. The third, fourth and fifth most wanted people have rewards of $50,000.
Montrealers should also keep a lookout for Dylan Denis, who's wanted by the Montreal Police Department for allegedly being involved in a murder in the Ahuntsic-Cartierville borough.
Denis is 27 years old, French-speaking and has brown hair and eyes. He has several tattoos on his body, including one on his neck with the inscription “CRIME PAY$“, as well as on his hands, back, torso and arms. Images can be found on the Bolo website.
