(AUS) Fears of simmering bikie war in Perth
Fears are mounting of a brewing bikie war in Perth after a motorcyclist was shot in a drive-by attack following a recent string of tattoo parlour fire-bombings.

Gang Crime Squad detectives are investigating the shooting in Calista on Tuesday night, which left the male victim, who is aged in his 50s, in a serious but stable condition in hospital.

A police spokeswoman told AAP the motorcyclist pulled over for an approaching car that he thought might have been driven by police, but was shot by the occupants.

Five tattoo shops have been deliberately torched between March and August, and police believe the fires are linked.

Earlier this month, the perimeter wall of a Waikiki house believed to be the home of a bikie club president was peppered with bullets.

Police Commissioner Chris Dawson recently said that incident, combined with the fires, was a concern.

Mr Dawson said there was always tension between WA’s 12 bikie gangs, but a dispute between the Rebels and Comancheros was particularly worrying.

“We’re putting particular emphasis on those two gangs,” Mr Dawson told 6PR.

Not all tattoo parlous were bikie-connected but most were, he added.

State Crime Acting Commander Kim Massam will hold a media conference about “ongoing issues” with outlaw motorcycle gangs later on Wednesday.

(USA) Jury listens to more recordings in Kauffman murder trial
For the third day Wednesday, Andrew “Chef” Glick returned to the stand in Ferdinand “Freddy” Augello's trial surrounding the 2012 murder of April Kauffman.

10:30 a.m.: After playing a brief audio-only recording, another video is being played of a meet in Upper Township with Augello in December 2017.

They talked again about killing the doctor in jail and money.

The court took a mid-morning break.

10:15 a.m.: In another video recording played, Glick and Augello are meeting somewhere near the woods on Dec. 2, 2017. Glick in the video talks about poisoning the doctor's food in jail, and finding out what cell he is in.

Augello is not heard explicitly telling Glick to poison the doctor, but inquires how it's done.

9:30 a.m.: Glick testified that he and Augello talked about killing James Kauffman in jail. Augello said he was speaking with his own people, Glick said.

“He had talked to his Sicilian friends about getting the doc in Atlantic County Jail,” Glick said.

Glick said Augello told him that he wanted Kauffman dead "the sooner the better."

--

As part of Glick's testimony on Tuesday, Chief Assistant Prosecutor Seth Levy played an over hourlong recorded conversation between Augello and Glick, who served as a confidential informant for the state after he was arrested in November 2017.

The trial continues at 9 a.m. Wednesday with more testimony.

Glick was giving Augello a copy of the Jacobs Letter, a letter written by Dr. James Kauffman’s former attorney, Edwin Jacobs, that named Augello and Francis Mulholland as possible suspects in the murder.

“I didn’t murder this guy’s wife,” Augello said to Glick in the recording, arguing that for it to be a murder, they need a weapon or DNA on the body. “Where is the murderer? This is bizarre.”

Augello, 62, of Upper Township, is charged in the 2012 murder of April Kauffman, conspiracy to murder Dr. James Kauffman and racketeering in leading a drug ring out of the doctor’s Egg Harbor Township medical practice.

Augello, a former sign maker and retired Pagans motorcycle club president, read the transcript closely as it played through the speakers in the courtroom, shaking his head and writing notes.

Glick testified that Augello was “dumbfounded, amazed, couldn’t believe” that he was mentioned in the Jacobs letter, but that while he was talking, he was writing notes to Glick that named people involved in the drug ring and others they were or weren’t worried about.

Mulholland, the hitman authorities believe fatally shot April Kauffman in her Linwood home, died in October 2013 from a drug overdose in his home in the Villas section of Lower Township.

Levy also showed a video recording from a meeting in a restaurant, where Glick and Augello passed notes while talking. Glick said Augello wrote down Mulholland’s name to say he was dead, thereby admitting he knew him.

(USA) Due to possible rally by Mongols motorcycle gang, police to beef up Stockyards presence
FORT WORTH
Police say they’ll beef up their presence in the historic Fort Worth Stockyards this weekend after an ATF warning that the Mongols motorcycle gang is likely planning a rally there that could draws hundreds of members of the notoriously violent gang.

The Mongols have been called the “most violent and dangerous” outlaw motorcycle gang in the nation by Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agents, according to the Department of Justice website.

An ATF intelligence note has been circulating in Fort Worth, warning that authorities are highly confident that the Mongols are planning a “run” in the Stockyards this weekend. The notice, copies of which were sent to the Star-Telegram, states that the gang members are expected to start arriving late Thursday and that there could be anywhere from 300 to 700 bikers.

Officer Brad Perez, a Fort Worth police spokesman, said in an email that the department’s intelligence unit “is aware and we are providing extra patrol/special detail.”

Councilman Carlos Flores, whose district includes the Stockyards, said Wednesday that the Police Department had made him and other business owners aware of the planned Mongols rally.


“The Police Department is being very proactive and will have a visible presence in the Stockyards to ensure that public safety is maintained,” Flores said. “They have also communicated that to some of the representatives of the Mongols motorcycle club.”

The gang is known to be involved in the transportation and distribution of drugs, including cocaine and meth, and has frequently committed violent crimes, including assault, intimidation and murder to defend their territory and uphold their reputation, according to the U.S. Justice Department.

“A majority of the Mongols membership consists of Hispanic males who lives in the Los Angeles area, and many are former street gang members with a long history of using violence to settle grievances,” the Justice Department states in a summary about the gang on its website.

The gang is not one typically associated with Texas. It was not even named in the Texas Department of Public Safety’s 2017 Texas Gang Threat Assessment, which provides an overview of gang activity in the state.

But the gang has apparently begun migrating into Texas over the past few months, forming almost a dozen chapters across the state with members that include a handful of former disgruntled members of the Bandidos motorcycle gang.

“Although only operating in Texas for a short period of time, violence has already transpired between the two adversaries in Houston, Fort Worth, and Dallas,” the ATF note states.

Perez said Fort Worth police are not expecting any issues between the two groups at this weekend’s rally.

“Several representatives of the Fort Worth Police Department have spoken to the local Mongols chapter president and he assured us that the local Bandidos chapter has been made aware of this gathering and that they do not expect any issues,” Perez said in an email. “The concern with this particular gathering is the number anticipated to participate.”


In June, 21 members and associates of a Tennessee chapter of the Mongols were indicted by a federal grand jury with various alleged crimes, including racketeering conspiracy, murder in aid of racketeering, attempted murder, kidnapping, robbery and large-scale drug trafficking.

Earlier in the year, the same chapter had 19 members and associates indicted on charges of racketeering conspiracy, murder, drug trafficking and other related crimes.

(USA) Hell's Angels help out Calvert Hospice
Calvert Hospice recently received a $1,000 donation from the Hell’s Angels Maryland Bike & Car Show, which was held in July at the Calvert County Fairgrounds in Prince Frederick.

The Hell’s Angels Nomads MD chapter organized the family-friendly event, which featured a car and bike show, local entertainment, special visitors from out of town, food vendors including Cutty’s BBQ and Captain Smith’s seafood, and a live broadcast from Hawkeye from 97.7's The Rocket.

Special guest Rusty Coons from "Sons of Anarchy" attended and autographed photos.

Many members of the local chapter have been impacted by Calvert Hospice.

“Numerous members of our group have been touched by Calvert Hospice; this is why we chose Calvert Hospice,” event organizer John Beal said.

“Seventeen years ago, Calvert Hospice cared for our grandmother,” said Karen Horton, the wife of a Hell’s Angels Nomads MD chapter member. “The day she passed, I called you all and asked, 'What do I do?' You said there’s nothing else to do, you’ve done everything you’re supposed to; now it’s our turn to take over.”

Hell’s Angels Nomads MD chapter member Kevin Maloney helped with the groundbreaking and construction of the Burnett Calvert Hospice House.

The Hell’s Angels Nomads MD chapter is hoping to make the show an annual event, with next year's event scheduled or July 13.

(USA) Member shirt led to man charged in Scorpions Motorcycle Club break-in on night of fire
It was a Scorpions Motorcycle Club shirt — a garment available only to members — that led to a suspect being identified in the break-in at the club's building in Lyon Township.

The break-in happened Sept. 22, 2017, the same time a fire heavily damaged the Scorpions clubhouse on Milford Road, just north of 10 Mile. Kinley Rae-John Kelm, 39, is charged with multiple felonies over the break-in and thefts from the clubhouse and a camper on the property.

During a preliminary examination in 52-1 District Court, Scorpions member Jacob David testified that about a week after the fire and break-in, he was attending an event in South Lyon when he saw a man in a Scorpions shirt across the street.

"I yelled, 'Hey, Scorpion,' but he ignored me. It was a strange reaction," David said, adding he would have expected a greeting in response from a fellow club member. "I told my family I'd be right back. I went over to him. I asked who he was — I never saw him before."


The man, later identified as Kelm, claimed to be a member of the South Dallas Scorpions chapter, the man testified. But the man didn't know the name of that chapter president — David said the name Kelm gave was wrong and sounded like a character from the "Sons of Anarchy" television show.

While talking to him, David said he took the Kelm's photo and also his cellphone number. David said he eventually used the photo to confirm Kelm wasn't a Scorpions member.

Chris Page, then-president of the local Scorpions chapter, testified that several members-only shirts were inside his locker at the clubhouse prior to the fire. He said those shirts had incorrect lettering and he was planning to return them. There were also shirts that were available to the general public.

A Mossberg shotgun and a number of bottles of alcohol were reported stolen from the clubhouse. A large safe located behind the bar in the clubhouse had been moved and was pried open.

Misty Goans, a friend of Kelm's, testified that he had asked her to wash Scorpions T-shirts for him and left a couple of long guns and camping gear stored at her home in Commerce Township. She said Kelm collected the shirts and guns, while police retrieved the camping gear, which had been reported stolen from a camper on the Scorpions' property. Police later found shirts and guns, including the Mossberg, in Kelm's truck.

Other testimony was that just before the break-in, Kelm had rented a hammer drill using the credit card of a woman he was doing some construction for, but nothing that needed that kind of equipment.

A skid steer, also called a Bobcat, which belonged to a fence company working on a project at the nearby War Dog Memorial, had been stolen, driven to the motorcycle club and used to crash through the clubhouse wall.

Oakland County Sheriff's Detective Thomas Bizsio, an arson investigator, testified about seizing items reported stolen from the Scorpions clubhouse from Kelm. Noting there was no arson charge, Judge Travis Reeds asked if the investigation had been unable to identify a point of origin and cause for the fire.

"I was able to determine the cause and origin of the fire. The origin was on the east wall of the clubhouse," Bizsio said. "There was a leak in a propane gas line. The refrigerator compressor set (the fire) off."

The gas line may have been damaged when the skid steer was used to moved the large safe. Bizsio said there were no chains found at the clubhouse, so it was likely straps had been used to move the safe and were destroyed in the fire.

Kelm is charged with breaking and entering with intent; two counts of larceny of firearms; one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm; and felony firearm. Held in lieu of $100,000 cash bond, Kelm was bound over for trial as charged.

Defense attorney Michael McCarthy argued that the prosecution had only demonstrated probable cause for charges of receiving and concealing stolen property.

A strong circumstantial case had been presented that Kelm was responsible for the break-in as well as the thefts, Oakland County Assistant Prosecutor Robert VanWert said.

Reeds agreed and ordered Kelm bound over for trial on all the charges. Kelm is scheduled for Oakland County Circuit Court arraignment Wednesday, Sept. 26.

(USA) April Kauffman's husband killed her to protect his wealth, former Pagan testifies
A former Pagan Outlaw Motorcycle Gang leader turned informant testified Monday against his former Pagan member, Ferdinand Augello, saying he heard that Augello was shopping around for a gunman to kill radio host April Kauffman.

Augello and Kauffman's husband, Dr. James Kauffman, wanted April Kauffman dead because her husband was afraid that she would divorce him or blackmail him about the OxyContin ring that he and Augello ran, said Andrew "Chef" Glick, a former Pagan chapter president.

"He wasn't going to give her half of his wealth, which was almost $5 million," Glick testified.

Glick, who admitted selling OxyContin as part of the drug ring, was the first witness after opening arguments in Augello's trial in Superior Court in Atlantic City. Augello and James Kauffman were charged with the April Kauffman's 2012 murder.

Prosecutors said the men wanted to stop her from exposing a drug ring they ran with the gang. To kill her, Augello allegedly hired Francis Mulholland, 46, of Lower Township, who investigators say broke into the Kauffman's Linwood home on May 10, 2012, and shot her twice.

Mulholland died of a drug overdose in 2013 and Kauffman died from suicide in a Hudson County jail cell in January, leaving Augello to stand trial, prosecutors said.

Chief Assistant Atlantic County Prosecutor Seth Levy told jurors Monday they will "hear the truth screaming at you" during the trial. He sought to cast Augello as the ringleader of "an empire" that clashed with that of Kauffman's, "an empire built on lies."

Augello "had people responsible to him, that owed him their allegiance" and their silence about the no-questions-asked Oxy prescriptions that James Kauffman would provide, Levy said. "The pills flow through him."

Levy said two of the people who knew the secret are dead, and the living one blabbed to a confidential informant.

"Three people can keep a secret, if two are dead," Levy repeated several times during his opening.

Augello sat quietly, blinking slowly, alternating between letting his long gray mane down and putting it up in a ponytail.

Lead defense attorney Mary Linehan countered that prosecutors think their case is "just too big to fail."

She accused investigators of "moving people around like chess pieces" and said the prosecutor's office ignored a state division of consumer affairs complaint about red-flag prescriptions coming from Kauffman's office (as an endocrinologist, he would normally prescribe hormone supplements, but not painkillers).

Glick testified that he turned down the offer to kill April Kauffman but Augello, who he called "Miserable," asked him to ask around, see if someone else would do it.

The murder drew the attention of "Jersey Jim," the leader of the Pagans in the state, who arranged a meeting to ask the Atlantic and Cape May county Pagans about the killing.

"If I told the truth, I would've gotten my ass handed to me, beaten and my jacket taken," he said.

(USA) Reputed Hells Angels biker from Staten Island charged in shooting of rival
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y.--- A Staten Island man is one of seven reputed Hells Angels bikers arrested after a rival bike member from the Pagans was shot during a melee Monday in Virginia, authorities said.

Dominick J. Eadicicco, 48, is charged with malicious wounding and firearm use in the commission of a felony, according to the Augusta sheriff's office.

Eadicicco is currently being held without bail at the Middle River Regional Jail in Verona, Va.

Authorities said two Pagans were injured during the altercation that broke out at a hotel parking lot at around 3 a.m. Monday. One of the bikers was shot, and is in serious but stable condition, according to The News Virginian.

Eadicicco is one of five Hells Angels charged in the shooting, but the sheriff's office is still investigating to pinpoint the shooter, said Lt. Aaron LeVeck.

"We're still working to put the pieces together to determine the exact shooter," he said.

Nathaniel A. Villaman, 27, East Brunswick, N.J., Joseph Anthony Paturzo, 52, the Bronx, Richard E. West, 52, Baldwin, N.Y. and Anthony Vincent Milan, 28, of East Elmhurst, N.Y, were also charged with malicious wounding and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, said the lieutenant.

(USA) Hells Angels arrested in connection to Greenville shooting
GREENVILLE - The Augusta County Sheriff's Office is investigating an early morning shooting that happened in Greenville involving the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club.

According to Sheriff Donald Smith, the shooting occurred at the Hometown Inn in Greenville just before 3 a.m.

When deputies arrived on the scene, they found a male victim who had been shot and another male who had been beaten.

The shooting victim was transported to an undisclosed hospital where he is in stable but critical condition, Smith said.

The male who was assaulted was also transported to a hospital to be treated for his injuries, then released.

Deputies secured the motel and established a perimeter around the motel. Tactical teams from Staunton Police Department and the Augusta County Sheriff's Office executed a search warrant on three room.

Seven men, of the Hells Angel group were detained at the scene and taken to Middle River Regional Jail, Smith said. According to Smith, the members of the group were from the New York City area.

Of those arrested, five were charged with malicious wounding and use of a firearm in commission of a felony. The other two were charged with possession of methamphetamine and possession of a firearm while in possession of narcotics.


The search warrant resulted in numerous Hells Angels' clothing, jewelry, eight motorcycles and one gun, Smith said.

Both victims were part of the Pagan's Motor Cycle Club out of the southern portion of Virginia.

"It looks like the Hells Angels were there first and the Pagan's showed up to rent a room, then the two just clashed," Smith said. "The one just attacked the other one.

"Both had been at a convention type thing for their clubs and were just passing through the area," Smith added. "They ended up meeting in the Greenville area and this was the result."

The suspects names, charges and mugshots will be released later, Smith said.

Schools and a daycare in the area were notified of the incident as a precautionary measure.

The two groups are known to be rivals, Smith said.

"They don't get along very well," Smith said.

This is the first motorcycle gang-related activity in the county in several years, Smith said.

"Most of the time we don't have issues with them here, but they are engaged in gang activity," he said. "We haven't seen something of this magnitude that I'm aware of."

(AUS) Stronger powers for police during raids of Outlaw Motorcycle Gang clubhouses
Strengthening the authority of police when they search outlaw motorcycle gang clubhouses is about disrupting organised crime through intelligence gathering, the NSW government’s Hunter representative says.

The new laws, unveiled on Monday, mean officers executing warrants at bikie clubhouses will have clearer powers to search anyone at the site, compel any person to give their name and address and force people at the premises to move on.

Parliamentary Secretary for the Hunter Scot MacDonald spoke at Cessnock Police Station after the announcement about how the bolstered authority would benefit the Hunter.

Mr MacDonald commended NSW Police Strike Force Raptor North for its work combating bikie-related crime and said he hoped the stronger laws sent “a strong signal to criminal gangs” that the government would support police.

“The Lower Hunter has seen too much OMCG [outlaw motorcycle gang] presence,” he said.

“This is about protecting the community through disruption and criminal intelligence gathering.”

(CAN) Cracking down on the Hells Angels
An orange glow on the horizon burnt off a light July fog as a surveillance unit with the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams (ALERT) monitored the movements of Shane Lance Daly early one morning.
For close to a year, police had been keeping tabs on the 39-year-old, a man they allege is a full-patch member of the Dirty Few Motorcycle Club, a known Hells Angels support club.
But on July 25, police were ready to take action.
Daly pulled his dusty charcoal-coloured Lincoln Navigator out of the Spruce Grove Tim Hortons tacked onto the Shell gas station just off Highway 16A.
It was just before 7 a.m. as he turned right onto Campsite Road then left onto the highway.
Seemingly out of nowhere a marked RCMP cruiser pulled into the inside lane, dashing in from the north on Jennifer Heil Way.
The white cruiser was not really in pursuit, but the officer blocked Daly from using an approaching off-ramp.
“Not a clue,” a covert ALERT officer tailing Daly said during a lull in the relentless radio chatter when asked if the suspect had any idea what was happening. (The officer cannot be named because of his role in the investigation.)
Seconds later an unmarked police pickup truck hurtled in behind Daly, its red and blue lights flashing.
Daly pulled over immediately.
The short-lived pursuit — if it could even be called that — lasted less than 1.5 kilometres.
Wearing a black flak jacket emblazoned with ALERT in neat white lettering, a 6-foot-3 hulk of an officer stepped out of the pickup truck accompanied by another stocky officer wearing a police-issued camouflage coat, a backward baseball cap and sunglasses.
Without a fuss, struggle or barely a raised voice, Daly was arrested.
With a cigarette dangling from his bottom lip, he was handcuffed, put in the back of yet another police vehicle and driven away.
As a beat officer waited on the edge of the highway for a tow truck to impound Daly’s SUV, a marked RCMP cruiser parked in front of a nearby condo complex in Spruce Grove.
A glittery gold Harley, a Dirty Few motorcycle club sticker on the front windshield and Hells Angels supporter stickers on the rear, sat nearby.
The bike, police allege, was also Daly’s. It too was impounded.
The seemingly flawless, choreographed takedown of Daly was the culmination of Project Entry — a year-long, joint investigation by the ALERT outlaw motorcycle gang enforcement team and the RCMP’s Federal Serious and Organized Crime team into an alleged cocaine trafficking network across Alberta linked to the Hells Angels and its support club Dirty Few.
Daly’s arrest was the opening salvo from five police arrest teams that had unfurled across Spruce Grove under the morning sun that day.
Within the next week, 10 people were arrested across the province as part of the complex covert operation involving wire taps, GPS vehicle tracking, intercepted phone calls, encrypted messages and dozens of undercover cocaine buys.

Keeping their ‘foot on the gas’
Disrupting and dismantling outlaw biker gangs and organized crime in Alberta was one of the founding principles of ALERT when it formed in 2006. And operations like Project Entry are part of the sledgehammer they use against serious crime.
It is the approach ALERT chief executive officer Supt. Chad Coles said is necessary.
“You have to maintain the course and not take the foot off the gas,” he told Postmedia in January.
“To really see results you can’t just make one arrest and say that we are done.”
When it comes to outlaw biker gangs and organized crime, the most notorious is the Hells Angels.
While Project Entry did involve Alberta’s largest outlaw motorcycle gang, police say the operation did not specifically target them.
The story of organized crime in Alberta, however, can’t be told without understanding the Hells Angels and how they came to dominate the province.
Based on research compiled by independent experts on law enforcement and interviews with police, this is how the biker gang took control.
As the infamous Quebec biker war between the Hells Angels and their rivals Rock Machine was leaving a trail of dead bodies (more than 160 people were killed between 1994 and 2002), the most feared biker group in the world was eyeing the Prairies.
Three dominant clubs — Grim Reapers, Rebels and Kings Crew — had been fighting a very public and bloody war for supremacy in oil country since the 1970s. That reached a crescendo in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Shootings, beatings, booby-trapped vehicles, clubhouse bombings, stabbings, kidnappings and missing bodies were chum in the water for an apex predator like the Hells Angels. The chaos provided a perfect path for the group to force themselves onto the canola-covered Alberta landscape.
In 1997, they patched-over the Grim Reapers, while the remaining clubs were disbanded.
Of the 29 Grim Reapers members, 23 became Hells Angels.
A small number of Kings Crew and Rebels members were absorbed into the brotherhood and the Hells Angels’13th and 14th Canadian chapters were established in Edmonton and Calgary.
At the time they were the 109th and 110th chapters in the world.
Bad blood within the ranks, however, forced a split and led to the 1999 creation of the Nomads chapter in Red Deer. Since central Alberta alone didn’t have the drug market to sustain the club, members were allowed to roam the province, as its name suggests.
By 2000, there was about 50 Hells Angels members in Alberta.
The gang muzzled public acts of violence, but they never came to a complete stop.
“The Hells Angels are very knowledgeable when it comes to how they orchestrate their organized crime business so they want to keep it out of the public eye as much as possible,” said Calgary Police Service Sgt. Dave Mills, a leading expert in Canadian outlaw motorcycle gangs.
“There was still a lot of acts of violence but they were going unreported.”
Longtime Hells Angels nemeses and blood rivals the Bandidos saw an opening in 2002 and tried to muscle in from the east. Their foray into wild rose country was chaotic and short-lived.
Within a year, a probationary Bandidos member was gunned down outside an Edmonton nightclub (the case remains unsolved) and a Hells Angels support club member who was courting the Bandidos disappeared.
The Bandidos shut down and a majority of the remaining members patched over into the Hells Angels Nomad chapter in Red Deer in October 2004, tripling their numbers and cementing their spot in the top echelon of organized crime in the province.
Absorbing a rival whom they had fought bloody wars against in the U.S. and Europe was a bold move and one that didn’t sit well with some Hells Angels; a faction saw it as a way for former members who fled to the Bandidos to return to the fold.
“It’s like the Hatfields and McCoys joining forces. It just does not happen,” said investigative journalist and author of books about the Hells Angels, Julian Sher.
The bad blood and infighting continued.
In 2007 the Bandidos tried again to push its way into Alberta but that ended in a Calgary bar with a violent assault at the hands of the Hells Angels.
In 2009 another split occurred, this time in Calgary where Nomads and Calgary members formed the Southland chapter. Two years later, the Westridge chapter formed in Edmonton, bolstered by members of the Nomads.
Then in June 2016 there was one final split and Edmonton had its third chapter – Hellside.
“The Hells Angels really want control of the province,” Mills said.
With six chapters in Alberta (three in Edmonton, two in Calgary and one in Red Deer), the Hells Angels are the undisputed heavyweights on the prairies.
In fact, Alberta has the third highest number of Hells Angels chapters in Canada behind British Columbia (10) and Ontario (16). In total there are 42 chapters scattered from Vancouver to Fredericton, N.B.
While membership fluctuates, police estimate the number of full patch, prospects and Hells Angels hanga-rounds in Alberta is about 85. On top of that are anywhere between 170 and 175 members of support clubs.
Mills said the province is experiencing “explosive growth” in support clubs and club members, with the Edmonton area at the epicentre.
And the growth shows little sign of stalling.
A takedown
The day before Daly’s July 25 arrest, at a standing-room only meeting of at least a dozen officers in a top-floor boardroom of the integrated policing agency’s headquarters, each ALERT arrest team received their “mark.”
One by one, each of the suspects that were to be arrested had their photographs projected onto a screen as the lead investigator outlined the plan.
The next morning, five arrest teams fanned out to take down their targets.
As Daly’s carefully coordinated apprehension in Spruce Grove unfolded, almost simultaneously police arrested each of the remaining suspects one-by-one.
Theresa Marie Acker, 42, received a visit from two RCMP officers who rolled up to her well-kept bungalow in a quiet Spruce Grove residential area in a black unmarked car.
In similar operations, Larissa Sharon Lynn Ausmus, 31, was also arrested. Clinton Allen “Birdie” Thomas, 33, turned himself in after police couldn’t immediately locate him. And finally 47-year-old William James McCabe — who police say is a full patch member of the Hells Angels — was also arrested.
McCabe and Daly are both listed on social media as owners of Three Monkeys Tattoo and Lifestyle Apparel, a small shop in a strip mall toward the western edge of Spruce Grove.
By the end of the morning, all the suspects, including Daly, were transported across Edmonton to Strathcona County’s RCMP detachment.
Challenging the Angels
The arrests made through Project Entry were part of ALERT’s ongoing efforts to fight organized crime in Alberta.
Law enforcement have identified eight Hells Angels support clubs or “puppet clubs” in Alberta. Among them are enough members to support as many as 16 chapters from Fort McMurray in the north and Lethbridge in the south, to Grande Prairie in the west to Lloydminster in the east. This includes Dirty Few, of which police say Daly is a member.
Police are also aware of new clubs trying to move in.
The Mongols, with whom the Hells Angels have fought violently in the past, are trying to establish a chapter in Edmonton.
And police have also confirmed that a chapter of the Rebels motorcycle club exists in Edmonton and there are unconfirmed reports that Loners, another gang, have moved in, which would bring the total number of outlaw motorcycle groups in the city and surrounding areas to nine.
Sher, who has reported on the Hells Angels for years, said Canada and particularly Alberta is unique because one of the most powerful outlaw motorcycle gangs in the world has very little, if any, competition.
“What few people realize is that Canada is the only place that I know where the Hells Angels, for the longest time and more or less today, still have a virtual monopoly on the outlaw motorcycle gang world,” Sher said.
“We are definitely seeing a resurgence both in the Hells Angels and some of their competitors.”
Take for instance the friction in Fort McMurray where the Warlocks motorcycle club is pushing for control over Hells Angels support club Syndicate. In 2016, members of the Warlocks beat and robbed a Syndicate member of his vest.
The Warlocks have also begun wearing a bottom rocker – a patch that signifies a club’s territory — on their own vests in defiance of the Hells Angels who control its exclusive use in the province.
This is a direct challenge to the Hells Angels’ superiority.
“The Hells Angels do not want another Quebec biker war. As much as it established their reputation of violence and intimidation it also hurt them as well,” Mills said.
“They have to be strategic in how they deal with their rivals.”
So while the Hells Angels’power in the province remains largely unfettered and their influence in the world of outlaw motorcycle gangs unmatched, it may not stay that way forever.
Between emboldened rivals and sophisticated police work by units such as ALERT, things could change.

ruce Grove to Sherwood Park, the five suspects arrested in July were readied for questioning.
Rather than scatter the interviews across several sites, ALERT decided to use the freshly renovated detachment because it is one of the few facilities around Edmonton that could comfortably accommodate the number of suspects and the dozen or so officers taking part in the interview process.
The first of the interviews began at around 11 a.m.
The two bland, nondescript interview rooms sat adjacent to each other, not far from the holding cells. In each of them two plastic chairs were arranged around a rectangular table bolted to the wall.
Cameras mounted on the ceiling and unseen microphones transmitted images and sound to a nearby room where a bank of monitors sat on top of microwave-sized black computers with keyboards.
The whirring of the computers was drowned out by the noise of a single black fan on the floor that pushed the stale air around the small square room.
Pecking away at the keyboards, a team of headphone-wearing joint task force officers took notes to be used as part of the early court proceedings before the full transcripts are prepared. Postmedia agreed not to reveal details of the interrogations and the techniques to protect the integrity of the police investigation.
The questioning of the suspects stretched throughout the afternoon and into the early hours of the following day. The last of the interviews wrapped up just before 2 a.m.
In the following days, ALERT spread out across the province between Calgary, Cold Lake and Grande Prairie arresting Pascal Jacques, 40, Anton Frederick Petrowitz, 36, and Joseph Gordon Collicutt, 32.
Nicholas Alexander Delibasic, 46, and Nicholas Stovell, 38, were arrested on charges related to trafficking a firearm.
More than half of those arrested are facing charges related to organized crime.
A slow takedown
Taking down outlaw motorcycle gangs and fighting organized crime can be a slow process.
In 2017-18, the ALERT organized crime unit — which doesn’t just focus on motorcycle gangs — seized close to $10 million worth of drugs including $3.9 million worth of amphetamines, $3.1 million in cocaine and just over $1 million of the deadly opioid fentanyl.
Investigations by the unit also led to the arrest of more than 330 people resulting in more than 1,700 charges. Goods confiscated under civil forfeiture laws topped $300,000; $1.4 million in cash considered proceeds of crime also was seized.
Since 2014, a series of short-and long-term investigations has resulted in charges against 17 Hells Angels members and associates, ALERT says. Most of those arrests were members from the Westridge chapter (one of three chapters in Edmonton) but members of the Southland chapter in Calgary and the Nomads chapter in Red Deer also were charged.
Members of Warlocks, Tribal and Syndicate motorcycle gangs have also been arrested.
The RCMP have also made some progress in Alberta including the June arrest of four people with ties to Syndicate.
The four men were charged with kidnapping, forcible confinement and drug charges after an alleged home invasion and kidnapping, which eventually led to Mounties raiding the Syndicate club house.
“Combating outlaw motorcycle gang members and their related organized criminal activities remains a top national priority for the RCMP,” Didsbury RCMP Staff Sgt. Chad Fournier said at the time of the arrest.
“Outlaw motorcycle gangs represent a threat to the safety and well-being of Canadians.”
While it may appear that police are just nipping at the collective heels of bikers like a cantankerous cattle dog, ALERT and the RCMP are making strides.
“Edmonton law enforcement seems to be ahead of the game compared to what we are seeing in other jurisdictions,” Sher said.
In some countries, such as Australia, law enforcement officials are trying to negate the “power of the patch.” Laws designed to ban biker gangs from wearing the patch or club colours in public as well as stopping gang members from associating with each other have been introduced.
The Australian Lawyers Alliance, however, has complained the measures are a human rights violation.
While such drastic measures haven’t passed in Canada, earlier this year, the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Forces banned members from associating with a variety of groups, including outlaw biker gangs.
“The Hells Angels are at the top echelon of organized crime in Canada,” Mills said.
“All the stuff that trickles down into society from the drug addiction and the property crime stems from the high level crimes that the Hells Angels are committing.”
The case of project entry
In a media availability held last Thursday, ALERT outlined its case against those arrested in Project Entry.
They are alleging the 10, who have been charged with 45 criminal offences, “fulfilled various roles within a cocaine distribution network” in Edmonton, Spruce Grove, Cold Lake, Whitecourt and Grande Prairie.
Police displayed five kilograms of cocaine, half a kilogram of buffing agent phenacetin, cannabis resin, and a handgun seized along with multiple vehicles, motorcycles and $13,000 in cash deemed proceeds of crime.
Also collected in the haul was a Dirty Few vest said to be Daly’s and a death head necklace belonging to McCabe.
ALERT’s Supt. Coles explained that police believe McCabe was the “primary facilitator” in the cocaine distribution network and that Daly and Jacques carried out “lower-level, dirty work for the benefit of the Hells Angels.”
Daly and Jacques were not only used to traffic cocaine but to expand their territory into secondary markets like Grande Prairie and Cold Lake, Coles said.
“While ALERT is thankful to get five kilograms of cocaine off the street, the true success of this investigation is the complete disruption of this network’s reach and the tentacles it had spread into so many communities across this province,” he said.
“During the course of this investigation this group demonstrated the capacity to move wholesale quantities of cocaine on a regular basis.”
At the same news conference, RCMP Chief Supt. Ian Lawson said the rise of outlaw motorcycle gangs in Alberta has lead to increased violence, illicit drug trafficking and money laundering.
“These are just some of the many illegal activities that ruin lives and kill Canadians every day,” he said.
While the policing aspect of Project Entry has now concluded, the court proceedings are just beginning.
Since their arrests, the suspects have all appeared in courtrooms either in person or via CCTV from the Edmonton Remand Centre as lawyers wrangle over bail and release conditions. None of the allegations have yet to be proven in court.
ALERT has already moved on to its next investigation.
“You can destabilize them,” Sher said about the work to dismantle motorcycle gangs.
“But it’s a never-ending war.”

(CAN) Family rages as Londoner Steve Sinclair's teen killer is sentenced as a youth
The daughter of a London homicide victim lashed out at her father’s killer Monday after a judge rejected the Crown’s request to sentence the teenage shooter as an adult.

The 18-year-old, who can’t be identified because he was 15 when he gunned down Steve Sinclair, was sentenced to seven years – four in custody, three under community supervision.

The sentence sparked outrage from Sinclair’s daughter, Sienna, who threw a ball of paper at the teen and swore at him inside the ninth-floor courtroom.

“I never get to see dad again. He gets seven years,” she sobbed as a relative restrained her.

Superior Court Justice Mark Garson opted not to give the teen, referred to as TJT, any credit for the nearly three years he’s spent in pre-trial custody at the Sprucedale Youth Centre in Simcoe.


Sinclair, 49, was shot to death on Sept. 6, 2015, outside the Hamilton Road after-hours club that he ran. TJT previously told the court he was promised $10,000 – a bounty that was never paid – to shoot Sinclair in the legs, but maintained he didn’t intend to kill him.

“This was a brutal and senseless murder,” Garson said.

But TJT has shown strong potential for rehabilitation, Garson said, highlighting the progress he’s made in his education and ability to show remorse during the past three years in custody.

“He no longer aspires or worships the ‘gangsta’ lifestyle,” Garson said of TJT, a former drug dealer whose two older brothers have been shot.

The Crown wanted TJT to be sentenced as adult, which would have meant a life sentence with a maximum parole ineligibility of five to seven years because he committed the murder before he was 16.

A sheet-metal worker and talented guitar player, Sinclair was also a member of the Gatekeepers, a Hells Angels support club.

(AUS) 3 senior foreign-born bikie members deported from Australia
Three senior foreign-born bikies were deported to their native countries last week after their Australian visas were cancelled. The men were members of different gangs — the Mongols, Nomads and Bandidos — in South Australia and Queensland.

The Australian Border Force removed the men last week, sending one to return to the United Kingdom and two to New Zealand. Their cancellation of visa was based on character grounds under s501 of the Migration Act 1958.

There have been more than 190 organised crime members (OMCG) whose visas have been cancelled or refused since 2014. On Sunday, a 41-year-old New Zealand national was also removed from Brisbane Airport due to his significant criminal history.

“Collectively these individuals had criminal convictions that related to drug and weapons possession as well as inciting extreme violence,” ABF Commander of Field Operations James Copeman said. “The ABF maintains a strong focus on disrupting the activities of OMCG’s outlaw motorcycle gangs, by identifying, targeting and cancelling the visas of their members.

“Any non-citizen with an extensive criminal history and involvement with a criminal organisation, such as an OMG, can expect to have their visa cancelled and to be removed from Australia.”

As the ABF said, it has been kicking out foreign-born individuals with criminal convictions, particularly from biker gangs, for years. Just last month, a member of the French chapter of the Hells Angels motorcycle gang was denied entry into the country for “presenting a risk to the health, safety or good order of the Australian community, or a segment of the community.”

A bikie involved in the 2013 Broadbeach brawl was also deported to New Zealand last month. He had served his community service sentence in 2014, but he was still found a risk to the community.

Also in August, in a reverse situation, a man who infiltrated Bandidos bikie gang on the orders of the Australian Crime Commission has been granted refugee status in Canada. The Immigration and Refugee Board in Canada concurred that ACC failed to give Steven Utah adequate protection from bikie gangs when his cover was exposed. Utah became the first known refugee from Australia.
