The updated list was revealed at a news conference Wednesday by the BOLO Program – which stands for “Be On the Look Out.”

Police say Turmel, along with the second person on the list, All Boivin, are believed to be central figures in Quebec’s violent ongoing drug conflict. Rewards of up to $250,000 offered in connection to each of their arrests.

“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 Denis Turcotte, Quebec City Police Service chief, at the news conference.

“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.”

“We are noticing a shift in Quebec’s organized crime, marked by conflict and violent incidents to gain control of drug trade territories. Such violence is not tolerated in Quebec,” she said.

Boivin, who remains the number two suspect on Bolo’s Top 25 list, is wanted by the Sûreté du Québec. Police say Turmel has numerous ties in Quebec, especially in Quebec City and Levis, but that there is reason to believe he could have fled Canada.
