Oshawa Hells Angel arrested by RCMP

A nine-month investigation has led to the arrest of two members of the Hells Angels, one from the Oshawa chapter of the motorcycle gang, and another from Nova Scotia.

According to a release from the RCMP, in February 2017, an investigation led by the Nova Scotia RCMP Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit, with assistance from RCMP Federal Serious Organized Crime, Halifax District RCMP, RCMP Emergency Response Team, Halifax Regional Police, Ontario RCMP and the Ontario Provincial Police Biker Enforcement Unit began into the trafficking of drugs by a member of the Hells Angels in Nova Scotia.

As a result, a 48-year-old male, a full-patch member of the Oshawa Hells Angels Chapter, was arrested at a residence in Orillia without incident on Nov. 1. He’s been charged with four counts of conspiracy to traffic a controlled substance and conspiracy to possess proceeds of crime. As well a 61-year-old male of Halifax, thought to be a “hang-around” member of the New Brunswick Nomad Hells Angels Chapter was arrested in Jeddore, Nova Scotia without incident on the same day.

“Today’s charges demonstrate that outlaw motorycle gang criminal activity often has no borders,” states Supt. Alfredo Bangloy, Nova Scotia RCMP Federal Policing Officer. “Because of our strong partnerships with law enforcement throughout Nova Scotia and Ontario, we were able to disrupt the criminal actions of the Hells Angels and prevent drugs from reaching our streets.”
