Undercover police on scene when organized crime figure gunned down at Laval, Que., Starbucks, sources say

An undercover Quebec provincial police officer was inside a Laval, Que., S tarbucks trailing the organized crime figure who was fatally shot there Wednesday, Radio-Canada has learned.

Charalambos Theologou, also known as "Bobby the Greek," was shot so quickly that all teams involved in the surveillance operation were taken by surprise, according to Radio-Canada sources.

The two people injured in the shooting were members of Theologou's gang, the Chomedey Greeks.

A team of at least five cars, including an operations supervisor, was deployed on the ground to monitor Theologou's movements, who'd been under police surveillance since leaving his private residence that morning, Radio-Canada sources say. Around 10 police officers were observing the gang leader, sources say.
