Jamaican Shower Posse, Crips, 5PGz Raided in Toronto

Police connect Jamaican Shower Posse to Toronto gangs

Toronto police say a series of massive pre-dawn raids Tuesday morning in which they seized guns, drugs and cash will cripple the activities of two notorious street gangs.

The raids, executed predominantly in the northwest area of the city, targeted members of the Falstaff Crips and the Five Point Generals street gangs -- and the elusive international Shower Posse.

A franchise of Jamaica's infamous Shower Posse has entrenched itself in Toronto, dealing drugs and fuelling internecine gang warfare, according to police who arrested 78 people and seized almost 20 guns in Ontario yesterday.

More than 1,000 police officers from several forces rounded up members of a crime network that allegedly extends from Windsor to Sault Ste. Marie, and even back to Caribbean islands.

The Shower Posse has its roots in Jamaica. During the 1980s, U.S. authorities found evidence that posses moved into the U.S. and Canada, specializing in gun running.

They made their violent mark in Toronto during the 1990s but then abruptly changed styles, rarely causing a stir until this project.

The operation, which police call Project Corral, started in August 2009 to target the spike in violent crimes in the northwest. The rise in violence is believed to be the result of conflict between the two street-level gangs, police said.

The investigation also revealed that members of the Shower Posse, an international higher-level criminal organization based in Jamaica, were allegedly controlling gang activity within Toronto by allegedly supplying the Crips and the Generals with drugs for street-level sales and with firearms.
