VIDEO: Hundreds of B.C. Hells Angels celebrate anniversary in Langley

40 years since they BԪַpatched overBԪַ

Red and white banners reading BԪַAFFABԪַ for BԪַAngels Forever, Forever AngelsBԪַ greeted arrivals at the White Rock chapter of the Hells Angles at their Langley clubhouse on Saturday.

They were there to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the club in B.C.

While none were willing to be interviewed, one Hells Angels member could be heard explaining the event marked the date a B.C. biker club joined the Hells Angels.

BԪַThat was the day we patched over from SatanBԪַs Angels,BԪַ he said.

Police officers and vehicles lined the road outside the clubhouse, including officers from Langley RCMP, Delta Police, Alberta law enforcement and the anti-gang Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unite (CFSEU).

Earlier, CFSEU Staff Sgt. Lindsey Houghton had said it was BԪַwell documentedBԪַ that many Hells Angels, members of their supporting outlaw motorcycle gangs, and friends and associates, were involved in BԪַsignificant levels of criminal activity, including trafficking potentially deadly fentanyl and violent offences like assaults and homicide.BԪַ

On the day, Houghton was among the police keeping a watchful eye on the Langley clubhouse.

BԪַWe have police officers from around the country to make sure that the motoring public and the community stay safe,BԪַ Houghton said.

Many of the attendees were not arriving on motorcycles, Houghton explained.

BԪַMany of them are taking cabs. TheyBԪַve got their own shuttle system. TheyBԪַve learned from having done this many, many times across the country that it doesnBԪַt work really well when you have a lot of police officers watching for things like drinking and driving and motorcycle infractions,BԪַ Houghton told the Langley Advance Times.

BԪַSo theyBԪַve taken a page out of the safety book and theyBԪַll be shuttling in and making sure that they get to and from their party safe today.BԪַ

While the clubhouse itself is located behind high fences, tall bushes and a sliding gate covered with a material to prevent viewing, when it was opened up to allow arrivals to enter, several outdoor tents could be seen inside on the grounds, and a live band could be heard warming up.
