A party with booze and multiple strippers, allegedly attended by Hells Angels gang members, was held in one of Langley TownshipB次元官网网址檚 own facilities earlier this spring, according to an internal Township email.

The email exchange between staffers was sent a few days after the April 6 party, in which a group rented a room at the George Preston Recreation Centre.

B次元官网网址淚t was brought to my attention by [another staff member] that the Hells Angels rented a room at George Preston Arena on Saturday, April 06, 2019,B次元官网网址� the email says. B次元官网网址淭his group is apparently known to Township staff due to having brought strippers to previous facility rentals.B次元官网网址�

The staff member went on to write that there were eight strippers at the April 6 event.

One staff member was told there was a problem in one of the washrooms, and walked in to find eight naked women inside.

B次元官网网址淪taff were very uncomfortable,B次元官网网址� the email exchange said.

A more senior staff member replied and noted that both the clerical and facilities departments of the Township would be looking into the matter.

The email was provided to the Langley Advance Times by a Township staffer who asked to remain anonymous.

The staffer said the event was not a secret within the Township.

Activities at the event did violate the TownshipB次元官网网址檚 terms and conditions for room rentals, confirmed Peter Chevrier, the TownshipB次元官网网址檚 manager of corporate communications.

Chevrier said the April 6 event was booked as a birthday party.

B次元官网网址淲e can confirm that the event was booked by an individual and not a group,B次元官网网址� Chevrier wrote in an email. B次元官网网址淭his individual had not rented this facility previously.B次元官网网址�

The Township has not responded to questions about whether there were complaints from staff about the previous incidents involving the same group and strippers, or whether staff had a policy of refusing admittance to gang members.

There may be some changes to policies on renting Township facilities to the public in the near future.

B次元官网网址淐urrently, rental terms and conditions are embedded within our rental contracts, but to better manage our room rentals we have been working on an overarching policy for all of our facilities,B次元官网网址� Chevrier wrote in an email to the Langley Advance Times.

He did not comment on what the results were of the TownshipB次元官网网址檚 internal review nor investigation after the April 6 party.

The same evening that the party with strippers was booked at the George Preston Recreation Centre, a Loonie and Toonie Public Skate was scheduled for 7 to 8:15 p.m.

It is unclear if the party overlapped with the public skate or not.

Hells Angels members have been the target of violence during the ongoing gang wars in the Lower Mainland.

On Aug. 2, Hells Angel Suminder Grewal, 43, was shot and killed in broad daylight while he sat in his car in a South Surrey Starbucks drive through. Two men have been charged with first degree murder in the case.

On Oct. 16, 2016, senior Hells Angel member Robert Keith Green was shot and killed at his 72nd Avenue Langley property by Jason Francis Wallace, another Langley man with a record of violent crime.

Wallace quickly turned himself in to the police and later pleaded guilty to manslaughter. Eight days after Green was killed, the dismembered body of Shaun Alan Clary was found on the side of Robertson Crescent in rural Langley. Both Clary and Wallace were said to have ties to the 856 gang, and investigators said the deaths of Green and Clary were likely connected.
