NRI Gurneerkamal Gill, 22, Abbotsford, BC., Canada, was arrested on Wednesday afternoon, after raid on his family's Abbotsford home . The police recovered heroin, cocaine, four cell phones and two guns- sawed-off 12-gauge shotgun, a bolt-action rifle and ammunition. According to police, he was making $30,000 a month profit by using four-phone drug lines.
The police told media:
- Gurneerkamal Gill was an independent businessman and had some links to the United Nations (UN) gang.
- Gurneerkamal was not on police radar but he was running this business for the past two years.
- His family did not know that he is selling drugs
- He was driving two German-made automobiles worth $100,000 and telling people that he was making money from his business- called Seven Star Import & Export
- He was doing limited distribution of drugs in his home, but the bulk of it he was doing by driving to people's houses.
- He has no criminal record but was prototypical and freelance gangster
- He is facing two trafficking charges and three weapons charges
According to NRI Surinder Mehta from Surrey:
- This is a trend in NRI second generation: Why bust your ass at some $10.00/hr…..when you can make $500- $700/day by selling dope
- You are in a little risks and so what if you’r caught… you're out on the streets again.
NRI community has failed to teach young kids- discipline respect and moral values to become a good citizen. At the end, second generation kids are being attracted to music, fashions, and a gang lifestyle to make easy money.
Raman Singh, 19, from Surrey told our representative that how young kids telling other friends to make $500- $700/day:
- Buy one ounce of cocaine, assume that cost is $1000
- Cooks it up' and makes crack---it becomes about 20 grams
- Then sell one gram for $100 to the people who are addicted
- Make $500- $700/day
North Vancouver and West Vancouver are full of Gangsters and Drug Dealers. They are living in apartments and very close to schools.

The police is running 24 hour operation to put gangsters and drug dealers in jail.
