Hells Angels clubhouse demolished in Oshawa




It's a day Durham police have been waiting years to see, demolition day of the Hell's Angels clubhouse on Ortono Avenue.

Quote from the article:
"This really is a symbol of criminal activity and organized crime, basically snubbing their nose at the community and saying 'we're here and we're not going anywhere and you can't make us go anywhere,' and now they're gone," said Durham Regional Police Services Chief Mike Ewles.

Roughly four years ago, the bikers' clubhouse was seized by police under Ontario's forfeiture law. Police had plenty of examples of criminal and illegal activity to help build their case.
