One of three men nabbed in a Kamloops biker gang investigation has been sentenced to four years in prison for selling drugs.
Jacob Cavanagh, born in 1995, was sentenced on Dec. 8 after an undercover investigation into a Hells Angels-affiliated club.
His fentanyl deals landed Cavanagh in prison for four years, but a related conspiracy charge was stayed by the Crown.
He was one of three men charged in 2022 after a years-long police investigation.
Kamloops RCMP began investigating the Kelowna Hells Angels support club, the Throttle Lockers Motorcycle Club, in early 2017. The province’s gang enforcement unit eventually took over the investigation, with both RCMP and gang enforcement officers going undercover to buy drugs.
In 2019, the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit raided a business and a home owned by Cavanagh’s co-accused Zale Coty.
Coty is the last of three men awaiting a judge’s decision. He’s facing seven criminal charges, including possession for the purpose of trafficking and conspiracy.
The first was Shawn Carlisle, born in 1973, who was sentenced to 30 months jail in February after pleading guilty to two drug trafficking charges.
