No increased calls to police during Hells Angels gathering in Musquodoboit Harbour

As the Hells Angels makes its return to Nova Scotia, police say they are continuing to monitor biker gang activity, including a meetup this past weekend.

RCMP say there was a Hells Angels gathering in Musquodoboit Harbour, at the former Gate Keepers clubhouse.

That clubhouse was the site of an official opening of a Nova Scotia Hells Angels chapter last month, where a party was held to mark the club's return to the province.

Police said there were no calls from the public about the meeting, but they were closely watching the activity.

"We didn't have any increase in calls or anything like that because of it, but there was a lot of proactive work that was done over the weekend," says RCMP Cpl. Jennifer Clarke.

According to Clarke, police knew of the planned meetup ahead of time and planned for "strategic enforcement" to be in place.

"We were certainly monitoring any activities that were taking place and we will definitely investigate any criminal activity that has taken place as a result," she said.

"The information on clubs like this is continuously evolving so we do have specialized units who devote their time to this kind of activity."

The police coverage of the weekend meetup was part of what Clarke said is "continuous" monitoring of motorcycle gang activity in Nova Scotia.

The Hells Angels were driven out of Nova Scotia in the early 2000s, when a police operation led to most members' arrests. The club is believed to have folded when its once-active membership dropped below six people.
