Nanaimo RCMP watching closely as hundreds of Hells Angels ride into town
NANAIMO — Hundreds of notorious criminals and bikers will descend upon Nanaimo this weekend.
They’re celebrating the 35th anniversariy of the Nanaimo, Vancouver and Eastend chapters forming back in 1983.
“We know for a fact many of them are involved in criminal activty,” RCMP Cst. Gary O’Brien told NanaimoNewsNOW. “Often they don’t want to attract attention to themselves but we do keep a very close eye to ensure they’re in full compliance of the law. We believe we have sufficient resources in place to deal with that.”
Extra officers and members of the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit will be on the streets monitoring areas all across the city, such as their former club house off Victoria Rd. and hotels in town.
