FIVE LOWER Mainland residents, including a North Van-
couver couple, appeared Tuesday in North Vancouver pro-

vincial cuurt to face charges

of conspiracy to import and

conspiracy to possess approximately one pound of cocaine.

Robert Anthony Bogdanich, 20,
of Coquitlam; Randall Graham
Hedberg, 26, of Chilliwack; Grant
Allan Willis, 24, of Vancouver;
Shirley Dobay, 47, and Martin
Maxwell ‘Sonny’ Dobay, 54, both
of North Vancouver, were charged
following police raids Tuesday on
residences and businesses in North
Vancouver and Coquitlam.

Robert John Harrison, 29, of no
fixed address; and Justino Pace,
also 29, of Burnaby, are charged
jointly with the other five, but are
currently serving four-year jail
terms in California after pleading
guilty to cocaine possession
charges.

Tuesday's raids were carried out
by members of the Co-ordinated
Law Enforcement Unit (CLEU)
following a year-long investigation
by CLEU, the United States
Customs department and the Ven-
tura, California police department
into incidents alleged to have oc-
curred from May 8 to June 12 in
which negotiations to import co-
caine from the United States into
Canada were alleged to have been
made.

CLEU Cpl. Bob Hunter said,
Thursday, Harrison and Pace were
arrested June Il in Ventura,
California with approximately one
pound of cocaine, worth an
estimated $75,000.

The wvo subsequently pleaded
guilty to cocaine possession and
were each sentenced to four years
in jail.

Hunter said paper evidence, but
no drugs, was seized in Tuesday’s
raids on the Crab Shop, 2464
Dollarton Highway, the Dobays’
Dollarton Highway residence and
Bogdanich’s Coquitlam residence.

Federal Crown prosecutor Jay
Straith said Wednesday the Crown
would seek extradition of Harrison
and Pace from the United States to

them in Canada.

Preliminary statements of
evidence given Tuesday in court by
the Crown allege that a $7,000
down payment for the cocaine had
been wired to Harrison and Pace
in California by the other accused
co-conspirators,

The Dobays own the Crab Shop,
which was operated in its original
2817 Dollarton Highway location
by the Dobay family for 35 years.
The shop was moved to its present
location after the original Crab
Shop was demolished last year to
make way for a 24-lot residential
development.

Hunter said paper
evidence, but no
drugs, was seized in
Tuesday’s raids on
the Crab Shop

Hedberg, Shirley Dobay’s son,
also faces charges of conspiracy to
traffic in marijuana in Chilliwack
and Surrey in connection with
police seizures of approximately 24
pounds of the drug.

Tuesday before Judge J.D.
Layton, Bogdanich and Hedberg
were released on $5,000 sureties,
while the Dobays and Willis were
released without deposit on $5,000
sureties.

The five are scheduled to appear

vincial court to fix a date for trial
