OPP says the arrests were made on May 11, 13 and 21 and the accused include a Hells Angels hangaround and four associates of the outlaw motorcycle club.
“The Hells Angels Motorcycle Club is an OMG (Outlaw Motorcycle Gang) that use their interest in motorcycles as a cover for illegal activities including drug trafficking, fraud, counterfeiting, money laundering, contraband smuggling, extortion, violence, and illegal gambling,” OPP Det.-Insp. Scott Wade, of the Organized Crime Enforcement Bureau, alleged in a statement released Wednesday.

Four search warrants were executed by the OPP-led Biker Enforcement Unit (BEU) – with support from the Waterloo Regional Police Service (WRPS) –at two residences and two unlicensed liquor establishments, one of which was the Hells Angels clubhouse in Kitchener.
Cops allegedly seized a restricted handgun, approximately one kilogram of suspected cocaine, a large quantity of alcohol and electronic devices.
“The Hells Angels have chapters and support clubs throughout the province,” Wade said. “Citizens should minimize contact with gang members and report any OMG activity to the police service of jurisdiction in their community.”

Five individuals were arrested and charged with 14 offences under the Criminal Code, Controlled Drugs and Substances Act and Liquor Licence and Control Act.
Charged are: Aaron Antsey, 46, of Kitchener; Jessie-Lee Belanger, 28, of Kitchener; Mathew Indewey, 37, of Cambridge; Mustaf Omar, 44, of Kitchener; and Theodore Phillips, 39, of Kitchener.
“Organized crime knows no boundaries, so it is essential that the WRPS has strong working relationships with our provincial law enforcement partners,” WRPS Det.-Insp. Gregory Hibbard said of the “well-coordinated investigation.”
“Taking illicit drugs and firearms off the streets is saving lives,” he added.
This investigation is ongoing. Police urge anyone with information to call 1-888-310-1122.
