Three Lower Mainland men charged earlier this year in the United States in a drug smuggling ring linked to the Hells Angels have all pleaded guilty.
Dustin Meehan, 36, and Jus-tin Harris, 40, appeared Mon-day before a U.S. Federal Court judge in Seattle to admit their roles in transporting marijuana across the border in the massive operation in which more than a dozen B.C. men have already pleaded guilty.
And Anthony Jurcev, 26, who entered his guilty plea Dec. 9, admitted he arranged for hundreds of kilos of cocaine to be smuggled into B.C. using moto-rhomes and minivans.
His plea is expected to result in a three-year sentence instead of the minimum 10-year term for conspiracy to export cocaine.
Meehan should serve no more than a year as part of his deal. Details of Harris's plea bargain were not available Tuesday.
Jurcev admitted he worked under ex-Mountie Rapinder (Rob) Sidhu in the cross-border ring, "the object of which was to transport illegal drugs across the international border between the United States and Canada with the intent that those drugs would be redistributed to others for profit," the plea agreement says.
