[ISL] "Hells Angels set up shop in a Charlottetown residential neighbourhood"

[rfmcdonald]

Maureen Coulter's article telling the story of the Hells Angels setting up shop downtown caught my attention. What, I wonder, will be done of this?

A building in a residential area in Charlottetown went from being a skate sharpening shop to a laundromat to the first home of a Hells Angels club in the province.

The Hells Angels are the biggest motorcycle gang in country with 36 chapters across Canada.

P.E.I. has had an outlaw motorcycle gang presence since 2012 called the Bacchus Motorcycle Club. They have chapters in Alberton and Alliston.

There hasn’t been a Hells Angels presence, other than the occasional visit, until now.

The Charlottetown Polices Services recently became aware that a building on Fitzroy Street was purchased and turned into a clubhouse.

The new chapter in Charlottetown is considered to be a “hangaround club”. Becoming a hangaround member is the first step to becoming a Hells Angels. The next step is to become a prospect and then a full-patch member.
