Six people face 27 criminal charges following a crackdown on the activities of the Brothers Keepers gang in the Lower Mainland, says the BC anti-gang police force.

The Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit said the six were charged after a three-year investigation into the “prominent and violent gang.”

During one of the investigations, CFSEU ​​gathered evidence of a drug trafficking ring connected to the gang, including an “aggressive” expansion of its drug trade from the Lower Mainland to Vancouver Island and Kamloops.

CFSEU ​​says more than 11 kilograms of drugs were seized, including cocaine, methamphetamine and fentanyl. Investigators also found loaded guns and more than $ 50,000 in cash.

On Wednesday, all six were charged with crimes including drug trafficking. They are Amandeep Singh Kang, 29, from Vancouver; Andrew Miguel Best, 21, of Vancouver Island; Dylan Robert, 22, of Surrey; Jannat Bibi Nadeem, 21, of Surrey; Moshmem Khanun Khan, 45, from Surrey; and Tanisha Bhatti, 25, of Vancouver.

Arrest warrants have been issued for Best, while Nadeem was recently arrested and released.

Postmedia News reporter Kim Bolan has reported extensively on the Brothers Keepers gang since its founder, Gavinder Grewal, was shot and killed in his rented penthouse in North Vancouver on December 22, 2017.

In December 2019, Keepers associate Tyrel Nguyen Quesnelle was charged with the October 2017 murder of Randy Kang, a former associate turned rival of the Keepers gang, and the November 2018 murder of Jagvir Malhi.

While the Guardians started out in the Lower Mainland, the gang expanded to Vancouver Island and later southeastern BC, the north, Alberta, and Ontario.

In April, a targeted shooting on a popular Coal Harbor street left a Brothers Keepers gangster dead. Harb Dhaliwal was shot at point-blank range next to parked vehicles on the north side of the 1500 block of Coal Harbor Quay.
