 Justino Pace - “It’s just so ugly" | Its 2016 and Sergeant at arms for the Haney Hells Angels Justino Pace told the press he was 'annoyed' that the government was suing him over a rented property where cops busted a drug lab. RCMP dismantled the lab in 2014, recovering MDMA, ecstasy and meth. “I was so shocked by things that came out of that place,” Pace said. “I didn’t even think they could put so much stuff in there.” The property was used a drug lab between January 15, 2008 and September 16, 2014. |  |
 | He doesn’t recall who rented the property. Pace subsequently agreed to forfeit his share of the Mission drug lab. The government said that under a consent order filed in B.C. Supreme Court, the Civil Forfeiture Office received $23k in net proceeds from the sale of the building. The single-level, 3,150-square-foot industrial unit at 7191 Horne St. was sold for $229k. Most of the cash went to pay off a mortgage. |
 | Pace’s troubles began in Sept 2014, when a fire broke out on the property and the fire department responded. Firefighters saw white smoke pouring from the building and chemicals consistent with a drug lab and called the cops. Police said at the time that it was one of the largest illegal drug labs in B.C. history. The suit said that Pace’s company financed the purchase of the property in 2008 in part with a mortgage. The City of Mission spent hundreds of thousands of dollars cleaning up the Horne Street property. |
No mention made of a drug lab on the premises. An industrial ventilation system is half torn down. Expensive lab type renovations/additions were made at some point.
