Mexican authorities have seized a large number of motorcycles believed to be owned by a fugitive on the FBI’s 10 Most Wanted list — Ryan James Wedding, an alleged drug kingpin and former Canadian Olympic snowboarder. The motorcycles have an estimated value of approximately $40 million.
Wedding is accused of running a criminal enterprise that has smuggled six metric tons of cocaine a year into Los Angeles via semitrucks from Mexico.
In a post on social media, FBI Los Angeles shared photos of the dozens of motorcycles.
According to the FBI, Mexican authorities executed multiple search warrants this month, resulting in the discovery of the motorcycles. The operation was a collaboration with the FBI, Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Los Angeles police.
Top law enforcement officials in the U.S. have put a $15 million bounty on Wedding’s head, saying he has also orchestrated murders.
They say Wedding and his crew are responsible for moving billions of dollars worth of cocaine and other narcotics from Mexico to Southern California.

Ryan Wedding, a former Olympic snowboarder accused of running a drug trafficking network, is facing additional charges in connection with the killing of a federal witness.
In a press conference earlier this month, FBI Director Kash Patel described Wedding as a “modern-day iteration of Pablo Escobar” or “El Chapo” Guzman.
“Ryan Wedding has orchestrated murders against his rivals, against cooperating witnesses, against anybody that crosses his path,” said Akil Davis, the assistant director in charge of the FBI in Los Angeles.
The charges allege Wedding ordered the killing of a witness who was set to testify against him in a federal drug trafficking case.
Last month, the FBI seized a rare, $13 million 2002 Mercedes CLK-GTR Roadster as part of their ongoing manhunt.
