Police east of Toronto say they are expecting to see as many as 1,000 Hells Angels members as the club holds its national motorcycle run this weekend.
“We do not want to create panic,” Durham Regional Police Service Deputy Chief Dean Bertrim said at a news conference Monday ahead of the event. “But we have an obligation, and in all fairness, I have a responsibility, to make sure that our community is aware and provided the accurate information.”
The Hells Angels Motorcycle Club (HAMC) chapter based in Brooklin, north of Whitby, will host the 2022 Canada Run from July 22 to 24.
Officials said they hope the annual meetup, which will see members travel from across the country and beyond to take part, will be “uneventful” but asked members of the public to keep their distance.
If you see a large group of motorcycles, outlaw motorcycle club riders, don't interact, maintain your distance. Try to stay out of the line of motorcycles and be safe,” OPP Det/Insp. Scott Wade stressed.
