And on May 13 at around 5:30 p.m., two men lay dead on the driveway of a residence in the area of Kaiser Dr. and Forest Dr.

One of the dead was Pasquale (Squals) Casciato, 49, a member of the resurgent outlaw Satan’s Choice Motorcycle Club. The second victim of the targeted daytime hit was Christian Belsito, 34, a neighbour believed to be an innocent bystander.

Underworld settling of accounts?

Casciato was a former member of arch-rival Hells Angels and at least two dozen bullets were fired on the suburban street.

Now, York Regional Police say they have arrested two men in connection with the underworld settling of accounts and are seeking a third suspect.

It had been reported stolen from Toronto.

YRP said in a media release Monday that investigative efforts led to the identification of the trio believed to have been in the SUV used in the hit.

Cops hit homes in Toronto, Hamilton, Windsor

According to cops, on Thursday a search warrant was executed at a Toronto home and a loaded firearm was seized. Materials believed to be used in the making of explosives were also seized, including a detonator, a pipe, bolts and Tannerite.

The following day, cops executed search warrants in Windsor and Hamilton with the assistance of those cities’ police tactical units. Both search warrants resulted in the seizure of an additional three firearms, as well as an extended magazine.

Cops are continuing their hunt for Gerard Murray, 48, of Windsor, who is wanted in connection with the double murder. So far, he is on the run, and cops have not located him.

He is known to frequent southwestern Ontario, between Windsor and the Greater Toronto Area. Investigators are releasing his image and are appealing to the public for any information on his whereabouts. Murray is wanted for two counts of first-degree murder and arson causing property damage

Dope smuggling kingpin

Also charged is alleged GTA bombmaker, Michele Moscone, 27. In addition to the two first-degree murder charges and arson, he is charged with possessing an explosive substance and a number of firearms-related charges.

Glen Mousseau, 55, of Windsor is the most intriguing member of the trio. With 47 convictions over an illustrious 32-year criminal career. He is charged with accessory after the fact to murder, arson and firearms offences.

Mousseau was the ingenious dope smuggler who used a fleet of mini-submarines to smuggle drugs and cash across the Detroit River in the U.S. The enterprising villain was nabbed in 2019 and sentenced to six years in a U.S. federal prison in 2012.

Tethered to reefer

He also forfeited his submarine.

Mousseau was nabbed when he was found floating unconscious in the Detroit River. He was tethered to 185 pounds of reefer. Law enforcement officials called him Scuba Steve.

Prosecutors said Mousseau’s smuggling operation relied on a fleet of Seabob-Jets, an egg-shaped, WiFi-equipped, electric scooter capable of propelling him along the bottom of the Detroit River at more than 13 miles per hour in near silence and with two cameras providing lookout. A Seabob-Jet usually sells for US$9,000 to $16,500, according to The Detroit News.

Three criminal organizations

The career criminal allegedly told law enforcement he worked for three criminal organizations in the U.S. and Canada.

Any witnesses who have not yet spoken to police, or anyone who may have video footage from the area, are asked to come forward.
