Vancouver Police say four men have been charged with conspiracy to commit murder after a successful multi-agency investigation to disrupt gang violence on the Lower Mainland.

Newly charged in the Project Territory investigation are Surrey resident Moeen Khan, 22, Abbotsford resident Pashminder Boparai, 30, and two Ottawa men – Mustapha Ali of Ottawa, 28, and Nobin Malonga-Massamba, 23.

The Ottawa men, who are also facing additional firearms counts, are in custody but VPD Acting Insp. Lisa Byrne said Tuesday that police have not yet located Boparai or Khan.

Byrne told reporters that she couldn’t comment on who was targeted in the murder conspiracy because of on-going court proceedings.

But she did say the person was someone “very much someone involved in the gang lifestyle.”

The indictment, obtained by Postmedia, says the four men conspired to commit murder with “Sameet Kang, Gary Kang and others” between June 4 and June 19, 2018 in Vancouver, Burnaby, Langley and Maple Ridge.
