GRAND JURY ISSUES WARRANTS ON MAJOR METH RING

BENSALEM, Pa. -- After an interstate investigation, a Dauphin County,
Pa. grand jury recommended that 15 Breed outlaw motorcycle gang
members be arrested for allegedly operating a major speed
distribution ring, Pa. Attorney General Tom Corbett announced yesterday.

The large-scale, $11 million methamphetamine ring was allegedly being
operated in Bucks and Philadelphia counties and New Jersey and was
investigated under the name of "Operation Breed on a Wire," Corbett said.

"Today's arrests are the result of a continuing investigation into
the distribution of meth in southeastern Pennsylvania centering
around outlaw motorcycle gangs," Corbett said.

"In today's arrests we have not only taken down the main meth dealers
in the region, but we have also arrested the leaders and key members
of the Breed outlaw motorcycle gang,"

The investigation into the Breed began with an undercover drug buy of
meth in 2005.

As the investigation progressed, court authorized telephone taps were
used and the case was placed before a Statewide Investigating Grand
Jury, which recommended that the attorney general file criminal charges.

The two kingpins of the ring were identified as John "Shameless"
Kovacs of Jackson, the New Jersey Mother Chapter Club president of
the gang and John "Junior" Napoli of Levittown, the president of the
Bucks County Chapter, according to the grand jury.

The jury found that Napoli was responsible for the crystal meth
distribution network in both states.

The Attorney General's Bureau of Narcotics Investigation agents
estimate that Napoli and the Pennsylvania chapter of the Breed were
responsible for distributing more than 120 pounds of crystal meth
from May 2005 through June 2006, which has an estimated street value
of more than $11.25 million.

BNI agents along with the Bucks County Drug Task Force, Philadelphia
police, Bucks County detectives under the direction of District
Attorney Diane Gibbons, executed 13 search warrants at various
locations in Bucks and Philadelphia counties on Breed members.

During the searches agents seized more than 22 pounds of crystal
meth, about $500,000 in cash and bank deposits, 44 firearms,
including one sub-machine gun, 20 explosive devices, vehicles and 22
motorcycles. Many of the motorcycles and weapons were stolen.

The grand jury found that the Breed outlaws had terrorized Lower
Bucks County for several decades by committing crimes involving drug
dealing, thefts, extortion, witness intimidation and assaults.

The grand jury also found that the Breed outlaw motorcycle gang,
which orchestrated the meth distribution, was highly organized and a
tight-knit group with each member given clearly defined roles within
the organization. The Breed has an executive board and officers such
as a treasurer and secretary.

Napoli allegedly operated a construction company as a front to cover
profits made from the sale of the meth and stolen property, such as
motorcycle parts, tools, and other construction equipment.

During a search of Napoli's Levittown home, agents seized two
handguns, two high-capacity assault rifle magazines and ammunition
and a money counter.

They also seized $120,000 in cash, a Volvo turbo sedan, Chevy
Trailblazer, Corvette, three motorcycles, dump truck and a pickup truck.

In his storage locker in Middletown Township, investigators seized
three reportedly stolen Harley Davidson motorcycles, a handgun,
shotgun and a sub-machine gun.

In his locker in Levittown agents seized about a pound of meth, seven
handguns, six rifles and four assault weapons.

While the search was being conducted, Napoli was allegedly hiding in
New Jersey, but investigators still wiretapped his phone conversations.

His statement to the searches, investigators heard him say "Maybe one
day they will get shot in the head while on the job," and "maybe
someone will rape their mothers with a hot curling iron,"

Court records show that Johnson distributed much of his meth through
other Breed members and at his tattoo shop in Bensalem called "House
of a 1000 Tattoos."

The Breed members would allegedly stash the drug until Napoli
allegedly ordered them to move it.

Sergeant at Arms Quattrocchi, an executive board member, allegedly
distributed multiple-pound quantities of meth and supplied New Jersey
Executive Board Member Fostinis with the drug.

Connor lived above the Breed Clubhouse on the 3700 block of Spruce
Street, Bristol, Pa. and allegedly protected the place with a cache
of weapons including an AR-15 assault rifle.

Steinmuller allegedly held multiple quantities of the drug for Napoli
and also received meth from member Heilman. During a search of his
home, investigators discovered a shrine to the notorious and brutal
German leader Adolph Hitler and the Third Reich with a large photo of
Hitler in the center.

The jury found that Freehoff and Kulow distributed meth to others in
the organization.

Dale, Coyle and Frenier allegedly sold the drugs on the street.

Napoli allegedly fronted Dale pound quantities of the drug and would
pay him $30,000 to $40,000 per week on proceeds from the sales.

"The grand jury presentment demonstrates that the Breed outlaw
motorcycle gang was a highly organized and violent organization that
made millions of dollars forits leader," Corbett said.

"Today's arrests are the first wave of more arrests as this
investigation continues."

All were arraigned before District Justice Leonard J. Brown who set
Napoli's bail at $2 million. All who were not already in prison were
taken to the Bucks County Prison.
