During my career with the CF Military Police, I investigated a number of cases where the Angels were involved in trying to steal military weapons from CF armouries. They are NOT a harmless recreational motorcycle club. They ARE a type of organised crime network.

The Canadian Hells are the largest part of the international Angels network, and they control most of the prostitution and drug dealing in the major cities here. They also work with many of the "ethnic gangs " to sell them drugs and to provide muscle and short term loans.

Most modern Angels only ride their bikes on "ceremonial occassions " like funerals of club members, and the annual summer run. They have been infiltrated so many times that some chapters had as many as 5 percent of the membership were paid police informants. No honour among thieves , eh ?
