A 35-year-old man who was a wanted gang member has been taken into custody, and is facing a list of charges.
According to the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams (ALERT) Francis Boysis is a member of the A$AP street gang and was wanted on a Canada-wide apprehension and suspension warrant.
A$AP stands for Always Strive and Prosper and is a street gang that is in northern and central Alberta as well as correctional institutions. They are known for drug trafficking, home invasions, robberies, stolen property and they rely on violence.
On Feb. 14, officers arrived at Boysis’ home after receiving a tip from an EPS patrol team of his location, and was taken into custody after trying to flee through a basement window.
A search found that Boysis was in possession of a 22-caliber rifle, which ALERT says on top of being a prohibited weapon, was in violation of his prohibitions.
Boysis has since been charged with careless use of a firearm, possession of a prohibited device, possession of a firearm knowing its possession is unauthorized, possession of a prohibited firearm with ammunition readily accessible, uttering threats, use of a firearm while committing an indictable offence, and seven counts of possession of a prohibited firearm.
